Hosted by former Boston Globe critic Jeremy Eichler and drawn from his award-winning book Time’s Echo (History Book of the Year, The Sunday Times), this unique program blends storytelling and live performance, inviting you to listen more deeply to the history of music — and the music of history. The concert features works by Bach, Mendelssohn, and Strauss.

PROGRAM

J.S. BACH: Chaconne from Partita No. 2, BWV 1004
MENDELSSOHN: String Octet, Op. 20 Mvt. 4 (vsn for string orchestra)
R. STRAUSS: Metamorphosen

ABOUT A FAR CRY

Described as “Boston’s popular, brilliant, conductorless chamber orchestra” by WBUR, A Far Cry is known for its innovative and compelling programs, as well as the democratic process that drives that programming. A Far Cry was founded in 2007 on the belief that every voice deserves to be heard; so instead of one artistic director, the collective of musicians (“Criers”) curate and submit program ideas inspired by individual curiosities, the greater musical community, and what is happening in the world at large. The result is a dynamic representation of music and collaborators across genres and backgrounds.
