Locced Down

Some performers engage in backstage rituals to relax or energize themselves before they get onstage. We’d love to be a fly on the wall when fiddlers Johnny Gandlesman and Colin Jacobsen are waiting to go on. This half of the Brooklyn-based string quartet Brooklyn Rider envisions they were gypsies in another life. The backstage banter eventually became Jacobsen’s “Brooklesca,” a Persian, klezmer, and jazz piece to be played onstage at tonight’s

Boston Modern Orchestra Project Club Cafe Concert. The four Brooklyn buddies are tonight’s special guests; they’ll also play a piece by Philip Glass. 7 p.m. $20. Club Cafe’s Moonshine Room, 209 Columbus Ave., Boston. 617-363-0396. bmop.org© Copyright 2008 Globe Newspaper Company. more stories like this
