Sunrise | A Far Cry | Grace Kennerly, Executive Director

Looking ahead to A Far Cry’s season finale Sunset, Sunrise beckons an early spring with Boccherini’s birdsong-filled “Aviary” Quintet and Caroline Shaw’s garden-inspired Plan & Elevation for string quartet. With movement titles such as “The Herbaceous Border” and “The Orangery,” Shaw’s work invites listeners on an energizing early morning stroll. Sunrise also seeks to shed new light on a little-known masterpiece, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Clarinet Quintet, a quintessential example of the form.
