A Far Cry stands at the forefront of an exciting new generation in classical music. The Grammy-nominated string orchestra has developed a distinct approach to music-making, with playing and programming that encourage risk-taking and exploration for both player and audience. Their latest album, Visions and Variations, was nominated for two Grammy awards - in the "Best Small Ensemble" and "Best Engineered" categories.
In its first decade, this conductor-free ensemble has earned and sustained a reputation for top-drawer playing, engrossing programming, and outstanding guest artists." - Boston Musical Intelligencer
