🎄 Celebrate the season with the warmth, sparkle, and sheer exuberance of Baroque music! Boston’s beloved chamber orchestra A Far Cry invites you to A Baroque Holiday, a festive afternoon featuring some of the most dazzling music of the 17th and 18th centuries. The program brings together two of Bach’s magnificent Brandenburg Concertos—No. 3, bursting with rhythmic energy and brilliant string interplay, and No. 6, with its rich, distinctive viola da gamba-inspired sonorities—alongside the elegant orchestral flourishes of Antoine Dauvergne’s Concert de Simphonies. The afternoon culminates with Corelli’s beloved Christmas Concerto, a work of exquisite beauty that evokes the mystery and serenity of an 18th-century midnight Mass in Rome.

Known for their adventurous spirit and electrifying performances, A Far Cry brings this music to life with the intimacy and spontaneity of a self-directed ensemble. Make an afternoon of it with a festive concert and reception with the Criers, Sunday, December 20 at 3 PM at First Church Cambridge. And with Groupmuse Nights Out, tickets are just $20! 🎻✨
