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 a performance of Project STEP’s Honors Trio, and Student winners from the New England Conservatory Fellows competition performing side-by-side with the Criers.

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.

Orpheus & Garrick Ohlsson
Mozart, Brahms & Billy Childs

Orpheus proudly welcomes back Garrick Ohlsson, a trusted Mozart partner hailed for his “muscular technique and the sensitivity and restraint with which he deploys it” (The New York Times). Wise musicians understand that the future exists in the past. Just ask the young Brahms, who mined Handel (and Bach and Beethoven) to craft what he later called his “favorite work.” The even younger Mozart melded styles from near and far in his first truly brilliant piano concerto. Composer and six-time Grammy winner Billy Childs infuses classical traditions with his jazz roots in a new work.

Program:

Billy Childs | Each Moment Is a New Discovery
Commissioned by Orpheus & The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra

Mozart | Piano Concerto No. 9 in E-flat Major K. 271, Jeunehomme

Brahms | Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel, Op. 24
