7:30 pm at New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall
30 Gainsborough Street, Boston, MA, 02115.
Project STEP’s Honors Quartet will perform with Grammy-nominated A Far Cry.
Quinn Mason | Svítání for String Orchestra
Ludwig van Beethoven | Symphony No. 6 in F major, Op. 68, arr. for String Sextet by Michael Gotthard Fischer; adapted for String Orchestra by AFC
Curated by Crier Michael Unterman
Featuring Project STEP’s Honors Quartet and Student winners from the New England Conservatory Fellows competition.
Last season A Far Cry “scaled up” Beethoven’s quartets. This season is our first time performing what curator Michael Unterman calls a “sporty” arrangement of a symphony! The iconic “Pastorale” symphony is boiled down to its essence and paired with Quinn Mason’s Svítáni for a refreshing exploration. Daybreak’s sunrise-inspired program offers an escape from the depths of Boston’s winter.
