The busy, buzzy string quartet known as Brooklyn Rider is making its first change after 10 years.

Cellist Eric Jacobsen is getting to be too successful with the baton – he’s music director of the Greater Bridgeport Symphony and the Orlando Philharmonic – so he’s calling it quits.

The new cellist is Michael Nicolas, a member of the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE) and former associate principal cellist of the Montreal Symphony.

Details here and here.
