Celebrating 72 Years!
The radical democracy of A Far Cry By Becca Vaclavik In the early aughts, a group of chamber music veterans found themselves in Boston attending graduate school at the same time. Brought together by geography and their shared love of chamber music, they decided to start an ensemble together. But they also wanted to try a new approach. “There were already so many great string quartets, and we wanted to do something a little different,” says violinist Megumi Stohs Lewis. “So we said, ‘How about a conductorless string orchestra?’” A conductorless string orchestra: the spirit of a quartet, only magnified, says Stohs Lewis. It was 2007—or “season zero” as the ensemble calls it—and A Far Cry was born. “We thought it was something that Boston and the world could use and that there might be space for that. It was a big experiment!” Over 10 years on, the experiment seems to be working. The group shares multiple Grammy nominations; has collaborated with artists like Yo-Yo Ma, Roomful 12
of Teeth, and the Silk Road Ensemble; and has been called “a worldwide phenomenon” (Boston’s WBUR). Part of that success can be attributed to a system of operating that the Criers call radically democratic. “There are different ways for people to contribute artistically. It’s been cool to see how it makes the group better and how it hones every individual’s skills, too,” says Stohs Lewis. Each season, a Crier submits program ideas to the larger group, and the group workshops them together. In rehearsals, members take turns serving as section principals, and every piece has a different set of principals who lead the interpretation. Once programs have been workshopped, the Criers vote and decide together what goes on a season or in a touring set. This season, the elected program for Boulder is called “Memory.” Yes, they’ll be performing from memory—a trademark of A Far Cry concerts—but Stohs Lewis adds, “There’s also a thread of memories
CU Presents 2019-20 Season · cupresents.org · 303-492-8008
that runs throughout the different pieces. Some of the pieces are nostalgic in nature, or they are pulled from the personal history of the group. One piece will be from season zero; we played it at our very first concert ever.”
The payoff, for both A Far Cry and Boulder audiences, should be extraordinary. Stohs Lewis says the shared passion for communication can be felt onstage and in a concert hall in a very personal way. “That’s part of the reason we only play music that everybody has voted for. Because we feel like to share in the most honest way, we have to be 100 percent behind the music we play. We love it, and we want the audience to love it too.”
ARTIST SERIES A Far Cry performs in Macky Auditorium on Feb. 8. Tickets start at $15.

Program notes
historically, serenades were pieces performed outside, usually in the evening. Thus, they are quite literally “a little night music.”
Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten
In the years surrounding the composition of the “Serenata Notturna,” the prolific teenager/ twenty-something Mozart penned a list that reads like the lyrics to the holiday song “The 12 Days of Christmas”: 16 minuets for orchestra, eight minuets for piano, six piano sonatas, five violin concertos, four symphonies, two church sonatas, two masses and an opera. That’s not even half of his output during the decade, for, included are a smattering of divertimentos and serenades— nearly one of each per year.
By Kathryn J Allwine Bacasmot
Arvo Pärt (b. 1935)
Arvo Pärt wrote of Benjamin Britten: “Just before his death I began to appreciate the unusual purity of his music—I had had the impression of the same kind of purity in the ballads of Guillaume de Machaut. And besides, for a long time I had wanted to meet Britten personally—and now it would not come to that.” In observation of that grief, his Cantus opens and closes with composed silence. Then, the bell tolls, sending the divided strings into a sequence of descending A-minor scales imitating at varying speeds, growing and swelling like ripples produced by a pebble dropping into a placid lake; the creative life of one person reaching outward, forever impacting others. The Estonian Pärt had compositional beginnings in serialism, which earned him an official slap on the wrist from the Soviet government. Later, Pärt’s studies of J.S. Bach and Gregorian chant slowly evolved into a personal compositional style that continues to be at the heart of his oeuvre: tintinnabuli, the ringing sound of bells that alludes to a pitch’s sound wave being mathematically divided into the overtone series, the basis of Western music theory and its harmonic progressions. A single pitch is actually an entire sequence working together—the “fundamental” and its “partials,” to use the lingo (much like the “notes” of flavor that combine to produce a particular taste of wine). Thus, when you hear the fundamental A-natural you also hear the partials from the A scale sounding sympathetically in a pattern: A, E, A, C-sharp, E, etc. The musical universe orbiting a single note.
Serenade No. 6 in D Major, “Serenata Notturna,” K.239 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)
What do “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” and “Serenata Notturna” have in common, other than they both allude to the night? [Insert Jeopardy theme music here.] Answer: They are both serenades. “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” is a nickname for the Serenade No. 13 in G Major, K. 525. Fact: C-2
· cupresents.org · 303-492-8008
The real treat of hearing the Serenade No. 6 in D Major (“Serenata Notturna”), K. 239 is that is it not “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik,” (which was written a little over a decade later). With so much Mozart from which to choose, it’s rather astonishing that audiences are somehow always tuned into the same top 40 hits. What can sometimes come across as precious in “Eine Kleine” is elegantly precocious in “Serenata Notturna.” In 1776, while the United States was declaring its independence, Mozart wrote this piece for strings divided into two groups and timpani. Serenades have a somewhat vague formal structure, but by the classical era the genre had settled in to a comfortable multi-movement form, often kicking off in sonata form and containing at least one movement made up of a minuet and trio. (In this piece it’s the second movement.) The addition of timpani in “Serenata Notturna” adds a kind of humorous gravity to the mostly light and frothy spirit of the string arrangements: it’s the dark to their light, the espresso to the milk foam. The contrast is particularly prevalent in the rondo of the third movement, where the timpani has its own variation before the rondo theme glitteringly nudges back, eventually evaporating serenely into the evening air.
Introduction and Allegro for Strings, Op. 47 Edward Elgar (1857-1934)
If one wanted to supply Elgar’s career with a subtitle, a plausible choice could be, “The Agony and the Ecstasy.” Success did not come quickly or easily for the composer, and those doubts
Then, in 1899, it happened. His Enigma Variations became a hit and changed his career from that point onward. The new fame eventually took him to New England, where he was given an honorary doctorate from Yale University, thanks, in part, to Samuel Sanford, a professor there. Immediately after his return from the United States, Elgar started composing a new piece (dedicated to Sanford) for string quartet and string orchestra. The format is often seen as a throwback to the concertino and ripieno of the baroque concerto grosso. Diana McVeagh notes that Elgar said he “learnt to write for strings from Handel” (perhaps a catalyst for the idea of a baroque type of set-up), and “knew well that a single voice can be more flexible, more wayward, than a group.” The lyrical theme, introduced by a solo viola line, is said to have been derived from the memory of a Welsh tune the composer heard during a visit.
Serenade for Strings in C Major, Op. 48
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) Tchaikovsky once wrote, “I don’t just like Mozart, I idolize him.” In an era predating recording devices, the only way one could become familiar with hearing the works of a composer was to either attend concerts where the music was being performed, or be wealthy enough to hire people to play it for you at home. So, to broaden public knowledge of his idol, in 1887 Tchaikovsky rearranged four Mozart pieces into the Suite No. 4 in G Major, Op. 61, “Mozartiana”. Seven years earlier, he wrote the Serenade for Strings in C Major, the first movement of which was meant to be reflective of Mozart, whom he thought was “devoid of self-satisfaction and boastfulness...a
genius whose childlike innocence, gentleness of spirit...are scarcely of this earth.” How appropriate that those sentiments found an outlet in a serenade, a genre richly cultivated by Mozart who transformed them from the musical toss-offs they historically were (often serenades were only performed once and enjoyed casually in the evening, like an audible amuse-bouche) into sublime concert works worthy of repeat performances. The Serenade for Strings is distinctly Tchaikovsky, yet distilled. Here he leaves aside his occasionally bombastic sensibilities and overt desire for virtuosity in order to showcase his extraordinary gift for lyrical melody, which in this setting sparkles like a rare jewel catching and embracing rays of light. In a letter to his patroness and friend Nadezhada von Meck, he wrote, “It is a heartfelt piece and so, I dare to think, is not lacking in real qualities.” Observed as “string quintet in texture,” it begins with a lush descending homophonic motif commencing what will be a tense relationship between gravity and anti-gravity via long descending and ascending lines throughout the larger structure of the first three movements. The effect is a work that breathes with lines working in harmony of movement—which is perhaps why George Balanchine set the work to choreography. The charming Valse of the second movement glimmers all the more next to the noble melancholy of the Élégie, featuring melodies infused with signature Tchaikovsky yearning and striving. The Finale temporarily appears to break the tug between rising and descending in its suspended hovering, like an autumn leaf fluttering in midair right before it is carried away in a flurry of an upward breeze ... or, in this case, a whirlwind of Russian folk melodies, which are in turn abruptly brought to an end with the solemn return of the opening material. It returns only briefly, however, before it dissolves effortlessly in a seamless metamorphosis back into vivacity. Program notes by Kathryn J Allwine Bacasmot.

were exacerbated by insecurities of social class and lack of formal training. (Plans to attend the esteemed Leipzig Conservatory evaporated into nothing because he didn’t have the money.) He felt these shortcomings so acutely that he once responded to an invitation to attend a luncheon in honor of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee by writing, “You would not wish your board to be disgraced by the presence of a piano-tuner’s son and his wife.” Elgar spent years dabbling in business and teaching, cobbling together a living taking whatever musical engagement he could, all whilst struggling to maintain his own belief that he could “make it” as a composer.
A Far Cry: Feb. 8 ,2020
About the performers
Called a “world-wide phenomenon” by Boston’s WBUR, A Far Cry has nurtured a distinct approach to music making since its founding in 2007. The self-conducted orchestra is a democracy in which decisions are made collectively and leadership rotates among the players (“Criers”). This structure has led to consistently thoughtful, innovative and unpredictable programming — and impactful collaborations with celebrated performers and composers. Over the past year, A Far Cry has risen to the top of Billboard’s Traditional Classical Chart, been named Boston’s best classical ensemble by The Improper Bostonian, and celebrated two Grammy nominations for its Visions and Variations. Boston Musical Intelligencer sums up the group: “In its first decade, this conductor-free ensemble has earned and sustained a reputation for topdrawer playing, engrossing programming and outstanding guest artists.” A Far Cry’s omnivorous approach has led to collaborations with artists such as Yo-Yo Ma, Simone Dinnerstein, Roomful of Teeth, the Silkroad Ensemble, Vijay Iyer and David Krakauer. A Far Cry’s 13th season in 2019-20 includes nine Boston-area concerts as part of the group’s own series, and a celebration of the conclusion of a 10-year residency at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum with three concerts—the last a blowout/collaboration with Boston hip-hop luminary Moe Pope. The orchestra also tours its “Memory” program, with concerts at the University of Colorado, Wake Forest University and a debut performance at the Kennedy Center in March. Recent tour highlights include two new commissioning projects: Philip Glass’ third piano concerto with soloist Simone Dinnerstein and The Blue Hour, “a gorgeous and remarkably unified work” (Washington Post) written by a collaborative of five leading female composers—Rachel Grimes, Angélica Negrón, Shara Nova, Caroline Shaw and Sarah Kirkland Snider—and featuring Grammywinning singer Luciana Souza. A Far Cry’s Crier Records launched auspiciously in 2014 with the Grammy-nominated album Dreams and Prayers. The label’s second release, Law of Mosaics, was included on many 2014 Top 10 lists, notably from New Yorker music critic Alex Ross and WQXR’s Q2 Music, which named A Far Cry C-4
· cupresents.org · 303-492-8008
as one of the “Imagination-Grabbing, Trailblazing Artists of 2014.” In 2018, Crier Records released A Far Cry’s Visions and Variations, featuring variations by Britten and Prokofiev, and Ethan Wood’s re-imagining of Mozart’s “Ah vous-diraije Maman.” The album received two Grammy nominations, including one for Best Chamber Music Performance. The 18 Criers are proud to call Boston home, and maintain strong roots in the city, rehearsing at their storefront music center in Jamaica Plain and fulfilling the role of Chamber Orchestrain-Residence at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Collaborating with local students through educational partnerships with the New England Conservatory and Project STEP, A Far Cry aims to pass on the spirit of collaboratively empowered music to the next generation.

Kronos brings the years that changed America to Boulder By Becca Vaclavik During the height of the civil rights movement, scholar Clarence B. Jones served as personal attorney, adviser, and speech writer to Martin Luther King, Jr. In fact, Jones helped draft the original notes that would become King’s iconic “I Have a Dream” speech. What many don’t know, however, is that the most memorable parts of that speech were completely impromptu. Mahalia Jackson, King’s favorite gospel singer, stood with him on stage.
Near the middle of his speech she called out, “Tell them about the dream, Martin! Tell them about your dream.” King set Jones’ notes aside, grabbed the lectern and didn’t look down at the prepared speech again. Recalling that pivotal moment years later in interviews, Jones said he turned to the person next to him and said, “These people don’t know it, but they’re about to go to church.” 20
Just a few years ago, David Harrington, violinist and founder of the Kronos Quartet, had the honor of hearing Jones share this anecdote. The story, he says, moved him deeply. “It’s so inspiring. It’s not only that these amazing people surrounded Martin Luther King, but they were both musicians: Clarence himself was a Julliardschooled musician in his teens. And of course then there was Mahalia Jackson. Here I am hearing this story, and I just couldn’t believe that I never knew this! And that two musicians made this moment happen. And I thought, we’ve got to find a way to celebrate this.” Harrington discovered that Jones lives in Palo Alto, California (not far from Kronos’ San Francisco base). Harrington got in touch, and Jones recounted the entire story to both him and composer Zachary Watkins. “Jones doesn’t claim to have literally written the speech,” confesses Harrington. “What he says is that he heard Martin Luther King’s voice inside of him— the cadence, and the rhythm, and the intonation of
CU Presents 2019-20 Season · cupresents.org · 303-492-8008
the words. And so he basically recorded what he heard Martin Luther King saying inside of himself.
together in concerts and in public events, especially at this time.”
“And I’ve worked with enough composers over the last 46 years to know that many composers speak about hearing their music that same way.”
Harrington and the rest of Kronos—John Sherba, violin; Hank Dutt, viola; and Sunny Yang, cello—hope the performance leaves Boulder audiences feeling energized by the apt message.
That conversation would inspire Peace Be Till, Watkins’ work about those moments before King’s speech and now the first part of the Kronos Quartet concert, “Music for Change: The 60s, The Years That Changed America.” Coincidentally, at the same time that Harrington and Jones connected, Kronos was working on another piece, a work by Chicago-based composer Stacy Garrop that featured interviews by broadcaster Studs Terkel with none other than Mahalia Jackson. The connections kept colliding. Not long after, Kronos was performing for a third-grade class in San Francisco’s public schools. The students had memorized the lyrics to We Shall Overcome by Pete Seeger and Kronos played along for them. Seeger’s song, of course, was something of an anthem for the Civil Rights movement. “And so we began to have something that felt like it belongs together,” says Harrington. “We are amassing a body of work that I think brings together not only interests that we have, but I think that kind of belong
“I want audiences to be able to separate fact from fiction and understand that each of us has more power than we think. And that everybody’s energy is really important and can be useful. “If we gather together and use our best thinking, our best ideas, and our most charitable and wide-ranging visions for making the world a better place—a safer place for our kids, and grandkids, and great grandkids—then we’re doing something.” ARTIST SERIES The Kronos Quartet will perform “Music for Change: The 60s, The Years That Changed America” March 19 in Macky Auditorium.

Third Annual Distinguished Lectureship hosts awardwinning leaders of the Sphinx Organization By Pranathi Durgempudi On Tuesday, Feb. 25, the College of Music’s third annual Distinguished Lectureship in Music, Diversity and Inclusion comes to Grusin Music Hall with a lecture by social entrepreneurs and arts leaders Aaron and Afa Dworkin from the award-winning Sphinx Organization. Titled “Throwing the DICE that Fuel Inclusion: A Wager on Diversity, Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship in the Arts,” the Dworkins will dive into the role that diversity and the arts play in society.
“As artists, we can engage with communities and impact communities. We’ll talk about the history of how the Sphinx

After reflecting on Aaron’s background as a biracial violinist
and Afa’s schooling in the Soviet Union—where diversity and inclusion were foreign concepts—Aaron founded the Sphinx Organization to address the lack of diversity in classical music. The organization is continually expanding its outreach and investing back into the field through programming in arts leadership and entrepreneurship—a big topic they’ll be discussing during their lecture.

Organization has been able to do that and how to be a cultural entrepreneur,” Aaron explains. The Dworkins’ work has been earning accolades for years. The organization captured the attention of former First Lady Michelle Obama; representatives from the Sphinx were honored at the White House with the 2016 National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award. “Ultimately, we all see success when our field, our sector, will reflect the rich diversity inherent in our communities,” Afa says.

When Chase’s students began to experiment with her directions, they started to literally cling to each other and lean on each other—out of fear, as the story goes—and the classwork developed into a sort of physics-based partnering. The first piece they developed was called “Pilobolus”, named for a lightloving fungus that Jaworski says made sense, given the context. “It’s this tiny little fungus, but it’s strong. It’s one of the fastest accelerating organisms on the planet. And, it bends and twists and turns and looks for the light, shooting its spores off in far-reaching directions.”
Like the spores, the name stuck. The group’s reputation, too, rapidly accelerated.
A history—and biology— of Pilobolus By Becca Vaclavik Not many modern dance companies last beyond 50 years. And not very many outlast their founders. But Pilobolus, which has toured over 120 pieces of repertoire to more than 65 countries over the past several decades, is positioned to do both. “To be in a place where we’re on the cusp of all of that is very exciting. It’s very scary at the same time. It feels like a lot of responsibility,” says Renee Jaworski, co-artistic director of the dance company. Pilobolus began at Dartmouth College in 1971. At the time, Dartmouth had an all-male student body, and Alison Chase, choreographer-in-residence and assistant professor of dance, was one of the only women on campus. Her classes were mostly taught to students without any experience. As such, her classes were not technique-based. “They were more about using your body to tell stories and create movement using movement that your body innately knows how to do even when you’re a child, like running, jumping, rolling,” says Jaworski. 24
“People started taking notice, and they started to realize that it didn’t look like anything else that was on the dance stages at the time,” says Jaworski. “I think that it was a time where revolution was a big thing. People were looking out for that, to not conform to what people had seen already was a big thing.” Fifty years on, the revolution continues. “Every 10 years or so, Pilobolus has had to reinvent itself in some way. We’re constantly trying to adapt to the world around us.” For their Boulder performance, titled “Come to your senses,” reinvention looks like videos of vintage science experiments, words spelled in “foot font,” dancers wearing giant eyeballs on their heads, and a dance about fraternity and brotherhood. Some of it is funny and quirky and kinetic; some of it is lyrical and beautiful. “You experience all these different kinds of feelings when you’re watching live dance that sometimes you don’t understand until a day or two later, or a week or two later, or a year or two later,” shares Jaworski. “In ‘Come to your senses,’ come and feel the sweat, hear the sounds of the music, of the dancers, pounding. You’ll really watch an entire world unfurl in front of you.”
