Evening Performance

A Far Cry

Thursday, December 7, 2017
7 pm
Calderwood Hall

A Far Cry, the Gardner's resident chamber orchestra, challenges the audience with an exploration of abstraction in sound. The works on this program were selected based on two criteria: the musicians of A Far Cry love them, and audiences often approach with skepticism... until they have a listen. The pieces increase in “difficulty.” Can you make it to the end?
