Podcast Description
Welcome to Classical Gas, a new podcast by radio host and producer Gail Wein.

Colin Jacobson is a violinist, composer and co-founder of the Knights Chamber Orchestra and the string quartet Brooklyn Rider. I spoke with Colin earlier this year about Brooklyn Rider’s new concert program, Citizenship Notes, which commemorates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence; and about the group’s 20th anniversary.
Brooklyn Rider premieres the Citizenship Notes program at Tippet Rise on September 14, 2025 and will perform it in Australia, Paris, Pittsburgh, Tulsa, New York City and other locations in the coming season.
