A Far Cry Presents: THEN IS NOW

We excitedly welcome back our Presenting Partner, A Far Cry for 5 fabulous Nights Out offerings this 2024-25 season! Groupmuse community members have exclusive reduced price access to these incredible concerts at 45% or more off. What an amazing deal!

Here's what A Far Cry has to say about this concert's program:

"Memory doesn’t sit still – it blends, blurs, and blooms in unexpected ways. A Far Cry’s season opens with music that transforms recollection into revelation.

Caroline Shaw’s Punctum folds a centuries-old hymn, quoted by everyone from Bach to Simon and Garfunkel, into layers of harmony and distortion, rendering it strange, tender, and urgently present. Osvaldo Golijov’s Tenebrae suspends time entirely – recontextualizing some of Couperin’s most beautiful vocal music in a piece that contrasts the chaos of earthly conflict with the serenity of the stars above. Armenian folk songs collected by Komitas preserve cultural memory in vivid color, echoing a lineage nearly silenced by genocide. And Benjamin Britten’s brilliant Variations on a Theme by Frank Bridge, a portrait of his beloved mentor, finds infinite emotional shades within a single musical idea."

And in the classic Groupmuse fashion, there will be time for our Groupmusers to socialize afterwards! Each ticket includes a free wine and dessert post-concert reception at Jordan Hall immediately after each show. <3

Seating will be assigned. Please pick up your tickets at Will Call prior to the concert's start time.
