About A Far Cry
In its ten years, the Grammy-nominated self-conducted A Far Cry has taken an omnivorous approach, leading to collaborations with artists such as Yo-Yo Ma, Jake Shimabukuro, and Urbanity Dance. Known for high energy, according to the New York Times, A Far Cry “brims with personality or, better, personalities, many and varied.” A Far Cry was founded in 2007 by a tightly-knit collective of young professional musicians, and since the beginning has fostered those personalities. The orchestra has developed an innovative process where decisions are made collectively and leadership rotates among the “Criers.” This democratic structure has helped generate consistently thoughtful, innovative, and unpredictable programming. Whether playing a new commission from composers such as Ted Hearne, Caroline Shaw, or Andrew Norman; or a work by Mozart, Haydn, or Piazzolla — A Far Cry takes audiences on a unique ride.
