A Far Cry presents original compositions inspired by aspects of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum!

PROGRAM

“In-House”

For the first time, A Far Cry presents original compositions inspired by aspects of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Everything from works of art, to the architecture, the cafe fare, even the museum staff could be the subject of these new works. The program will also include companion pieces by other performer-composers throughout history, from baroque to modern day masters.

Annie Rabbat, Los Gitanos de Jerez, inspired by John Singer Sargeant’s El Jaleo

Evan Premo, Empty Frames, inspired by Rembrandt’s Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee and Vermeer’s The Concert

Megumi Lewis, TBD, inspired by the choir book in the Chapel, Chinese frog sculptures, and Rembrandt’s Self Portrait, Age 23
