by the Boston Globe as "one of Boston's most promising classical music
groups," A Far Cry is making waves, experimenting with how music is
performed and heard. A tightly-knit group of 17 young professional
musicians, A Far Cry formed in early 2007, seeking the freedom and
flexibility of a string quartet as well as the power and beauty of an
orchestra. Their high level of musicianship has drawn Boston Symphony
Orchestra members to join them as soloists for select pieces. For more
info see <a href="http://www.afarcry.org/" target="_blank"><font style="color: rgb(25, 7, 241);" color="#1907f1"><u>http://www.afarcry.org</u></font></a>/</font></div><div style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; min-height: 14px;">

with rotating leadership and no conductor, A Far Cry is generating
interest not only in the concert hall, but also with its innovative
model. All artistic decisions are made by vote as a collective, and the
musicians take care of ALL the behind-the-scenes work, from booking
concerts to exploring the means of fundraising.</font></div><div style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; min-height: 14px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><font style="font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none;" face="Helvetica" size="3">A
501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, A Far Cry is also committed to
social change and harmony, donating proceeds from concerts to homeless
shelters in the Boston area, and partnering with other non-profits such
as the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. A Far Cry's 2008-09 season
holds engagements at the Yellow Barn and Kneisel Hall Festivals,
concerts from Minnesota to Florida, and a growing hometown series in
Boston. Their newest benefit concert will support Bikes Not Bombs on
November 7th.</font></div><div style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; min-height: 14px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><font style="font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none;" face="Helvetica" size="3"><u>YOUTUBE VIDEOS OF "A FAR CRY"</u></font></div>
