A Far Cry stands at the forefront of an exciting new generation in classical music. The 2019 GRAMMY-nominated chamber orchestra "brims with personality or, better, personalities, many and varied" (The New York Times). A Far Cry was founded in 2007 by a tightly-knit collective of 17 young professional musicians and has developed an innovative structure of rotating leadership both on stage and behind the scenes.
They join forces with Simone Dinnerstein, a pianist whose solo career has included performances with the Vienna Symphony, New York Philharmonic, Atlanta Symphony, and many others. Together, they present a program of Bach's Goldberg Variations: a re-imagining of one of Bach's greatest works, juxtaposing the original keyboard part with its orchestral embodiment, creating a world of sonic possibilities.
The concert is Thursday, February 7 at 8pm in Bailey Hall.
