SUMMARY:Project STEP + A Far Cry
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, January 31\, 2025\n7:30 pm at New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall\n30 Gainsborough Street\, Boston\, MA\, 02115. \nTICKETS>>>\n \nProject STEP’s Honors Quartet will perform with Grammy-nominated A Far Cry. \nMUSICAL PROGRAM\nQuinn Mason | Svítání for String Orchestra\nLudwig van Beethoven | Symphony No. 6 in F major\, Op. 68\, arr. for String Sextet by Michael Gotthard Fischer; adapted for String Orchestra by AFC \nCurated by Crier Michael Unterman\nFeaturing Project STEP’s Honors Quartet and Student winners from the New England Conservatory Fellows competition. \nLast 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.
