Vivaldi’s Four Seasons is a foundational work that has sparked the imagination of musicians and audiences for over 300 years.

Schubert’s “Trout” Quintet, with its depictions of darting fish and bubbling brooks, continues to be a beloved treasure of the classical music repertoire. The work has inspired generations of composers, including Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Kevin Puts, whose Red Snapper Quintet serves as a contemporary companion to Schubert’s iconic quintet.

Last season A Far Cry “scaled up” Beethoven’s quartets. This season is our first time performing what curator Michael Unterman calls a “sporty” arrangement of a symphony! The iconic “Pastorale” symphony is boiled down to its essence and paired with Quinn Mason’s Svítáni for a refreshing exploration. Daybreak’s sunrise-inspired program offers an escape from the depths of Boston’s winter.
