How to Travel in Time |
Public Program - NYC | |
| Music for Time Travelers with A Far Cry Orchestra Wednesday, December 19, 2018, 7:00 - 8:30 pm 291 Church Street, NYC Classical music more than any other genre is defined by the past, with a clearly-defined canon that is fixed in time. Modern composers have to contend and wrestle with this overwhelming heritage. In this program, members of A Far Cry orchestra will play works that incorporate, transform, and deconstruct music from the past, as well as one piece from the classical canon that projects into the future. |

The works performed will be: Joseph Haydn: String Quartet in C Major, Op. 20 No. 2 Caroline Shaw: Entr’acte Osvaldo Golijov: Tenebrae The Grammy-nominated string orchestra A Far Cry has developed a distinct approach to music-making, with playing and programming that encourage risk-taking and exploration for both player and audience. The self-conducted orchestra is a democracy in which decisions are made collectively and leadership rotates among the players (“Criers”). This structure has led to consistently thoughtful, innovative, and unpredictable programming — and impactful collaborations with celebrated performers and composers. This event is free and open to the public. RSVP here. S.I. Rosenbaum is a journalist and artist born in Boston and living in Queens. A Far Cry Orchestra is a Boston-based chamber orchestra. The orchestra is self-conducted and consists of 18 musicians called "The Criers". It was founded in 2007 by a group of 17 musicians in Boston. Their album Dreams & Prayers was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2015 for Best Chamber Music / Small Ensemble Performance. apexart’s program supporters past and present include the National Endowment for the Arts, Milton and Sally Avery Arts Foundation, the Kettering Family Foundation, the Buhl Foundation, The Martin and Rebecca Eisenberg Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, Spencer Brownstone, the Kenneth A.
