Cancelled Guest Presenter: A Far Cry

This event has been cancelled. 

Dear friends: Effective March 9th, we are temporarily suspending access to all concerts for all visitors from outside our campus community. During this time, concerts will continue as scheduled, but only NEC undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and staff may attend.

We recognize that this news comes as a great disappointment to many, and we share in that disappointment. Most concerts are available via live stream, and we are working to make live streaming available at Jordan Hall. While remote viewing cannot replace the in-person concert experience, we are nonetheless grateful to be able to continue to share music with you via necmusic.edu/live.

This concert is presented by A Far Cry. 

A program that begins at the end, Sunset pulls us into a world of love and loss right away, with Respighi’s beautiful and heartbreaking “Il Tramonto.” From that burnished world, Lutosławski’s Musique Funèbre draws us further into the darkness of grief and rage. Vaughan Williams’ Tallis Fantasia waits for us on the other side of it all, quietly linking the human and the divine.
