FALL 2025 CONCERT - NOVEMBER 15, 7:30pm

Musicians from A Far Cry - Thunder and Starlight

“A refreshing corrective to classical music’s rigid hierarchies” (WBUR), A Far Cry delivers innovative and compelling programs that feel “perpetually fresh with every performance” (The Boston Globe). Founded in 2007 on the belief that every voice deserves to be heard, A Far Cry features a collective of musicians who democratically curate programming and concertizing. The group has collaborated with such diverse artists as Yo-Yo Ma, Simone Dinnerstein, Dinuk Wijeratne, Davóne Tines, Roomful of Teeth, the Silk Road Ensemble, Vijay Iyer, and David Krakauer, to name a few; has risen to the top of Billboard’s Traditional Classical Chart; and garnered multiple Grammy nominations for albums that include “The Blue Hour” (New Amsterdam and Nonesuch Records) - named a Top 10 Album of the Year by NPR, “Stillpoint” (New Amsterdam Records), and “A Gentleman of Istanbul” (Crier Records) which San Francisco Classical Voice called a “dazzling multicultural symphony.” Read more on the ARTISTS page.
