Second Inversion is pleased to announce a new media partnership with Boston-based chamber orchestra A Far Cry! For the remainder of the 2016-17 season, Second Inversion will host a live stream of each of A Far Cry’s Jordan Hall performances at New England Conservatory.
The first stream is tonight, Friday, November 11 at 5pm PT / 8pm ET as A Far Cry and cellist Lluís Claret celebrate the legacy of Pablo Casals with music by Bach, Schumann, Casals, and Ginastera.
This program weaves together the many strands of Casals’s rich legacy in the company of Lluís Claret, Casals’s godson, who A Far Cry is happy to be welcoming to Boston as a new faculty member of the New England Conservatory.
Bach: Brandenburg No. 1 in F major, BWV 1046
Trad: Cant dels Ocells (Song of the Birds) feat. Lluis Claret
Schumann: Cello Concerto in A minor, Op. 129 (version for strings) feat. Lluis Claret
Casals: Sant Marti del Canigo
Ginastera: Glosses sobre temes de Pau Casals, Op. 46 feat. Lluis Claret

Thank you for the lovely broadcast tonight! The picture and sound are amazing, but unfortunately out of sync. Would you be making it available for encore viewing? It would be nice to enjoy this beautiful program with synchronized music and video. Also, despite reading the program notes, I could not find a single mention of who tonight’s musicians were. For example, I was wondering who the harpsichordist in Bach’s concerto was? It would be great if you could give credit to all of the participating musicians, including those who are beyond the core musicians of A Far Cry.
Looking forward to your future broadcasts and live concerts,
Svet
