A Far Cry
*
Stands at the forefront of an
exciting new generation in classical music!
*
According to the New
York Times, "...the self-conducted orchestra “brims
with personality or, better, personalities, many and varied.”
*
A Far Cry was founded in 2007 by a tightly-knit
collective of 17 young professional musicians – the Criers – and since the
beginning has fostered those personalities, developing an innovative structure
of rotating leadership both on stage and behind the scenes. By expanding the boundaries of orchestral repertoire and experimenting
with the ways music is prepared, performed, and experienced, A Far Cry has been
embraced throughout the world with
more than two hundred performances, three
albums, a powerful presence on the internet, and a European debut tour planned
for 2012. The Criers are proud to
call Boston home, and maintain strong roots in the city rehearsing at their
storefront music center in Jamaica Plain and fulfilling the role of Chamber
Orchestra in Residence at the Isabella Stewart
Gardner Museum.
Collaborating with
local students through an educational partnership with the New England Conservatory, A Far Cry aims to pass on the spirit of
collaboratively-empowered music to the next generation.
