THE GOLDBERG VARIATIONS ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Since its founding in 2007, the three-time Grammy-nominated string orchestra A FAR CRY has developed a distinct approach to music-making, with playing and programming that encourage risk- taking and exploration for both player and audience. This year, A Far Cry was selected as Boston’s 2018 best classical ensemble by The Improper Bostonian, with one of its albums ranking at the top of Billboard’s Traditional Classical Chart. 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 thoughtful and innovative programming, and impactful collaborations with celebrated performers and composers. Boston Musical Intelligencer sums up the group: “In its first decade, this conductor-free ensemble has earned and sustained a reputation for top-drawer 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 Silk Road Ensemble, Vijay Iyer, and David Krakauer. A Far Cry’s twelfth season in 2018-19 includes nine Boston-area concerts as part of the group’s own series, and three pairs of concerts as part of A Far Cry’s long-standing residency at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. New projects include commissions from composers Jessica Meyer

A FAR CRY SEASON 12 and Grammy-nominated oudist/composer Mehmet Ali Sanlıkol. In May, A Far Cry will also collaborate with Boston’s Lorelei Ensemble in a new work by Syrian-American composer Kareem Roustom focusing on the women of the Odyssey.

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 Grammy-winning singer Luciana Souza. Continuing with the ongoing success of the recent album, Circles, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Traditional Classical Chart, A Far Cry and pianist Simone Dinnerstein perform on the road, followed by a return to Boston to perform a new realization of Bach’s Goldberg Variations this February 2019.

A Far Cry’s Crier Records released 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 one of the “Imagination-Grabbing, Trailblazing Artists of 2014.” In September 2018, Crier Records released A Far Cry’s Visions and Variations, which recently received two Grammy nominations in the categories of Best Engineered Album (Classical) and Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance (Classical). Watch for the Grammy Awards this month!

Maintaining their strong roots in the community, the Criers live and work in Boston, rehearsing at their storefront office in Jamaica Plain and fulfilling the role of Chamber Orchestra-in-Residence at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. A Far Cry is dedicated to passing on the spirit of collaboratively-empowered music to the next generation, and works closely with local students through educational partnerships with the New England Conservatory and Project STEP.

American pianist Simone Dinnerstein is known for her “majestic originality of vision” (The Independent) and her “lean, knowing and unpretentious elegance” (The New Yorker).

2018 was a banner year for Simone Dinnerstein, including a highly lauded recital at the Kennedy Center, her debut with the London Symphony Orchestra, a live recital for BBC’s Radio Three, and an ambitious season as the first artist-in-residence for Music Worcester, encompassing performances, school outreach, master classes, and lectures. Future highlights include a European tour with Kristjan Jarvi and the Baltic Sea Philharmonic and a residency in San Francisco with the New Century Chamber Orchestra including a collaboration with Daniel Hope and Lynn Harrell for the Beethoven Triple Concerto.

Dinnerstein spent 2018 touring Piano Concerto No. 3, a piece that Philip Glass wrote for her as a co-commission by twelve orchestras. Circles, her world premiere recording of the concerto with Grammy- nominated string orchestra A Far Cry, topped the Classical Billboard charts. Future performances will be held in France, Germany, Italy, and Canada.

Dinnerstein released Mozart in Havana in 2017, recorded in Cuba with the Havana Lyceum Orchestra. She went on to bring the orchestra to the United States for their first-ever American tour, which was received with tremendous enthusiasm and was featured in specials for PBS and NPR. Also in 2017, she collaborated with choreographer

A FAR CRY SEASON 12 Pam Tanowitz to create New Work for Goldberg Variations, which was on the year-end top ten lists of critics at The New York Times and The Boston Globe. This project continues to tour and will be given a run of performances at New York’s Joyce Theater in 2019.

Dinnerstein first attracted attention in 2007 with her self-produced recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations. It was a remarkable success, reaching No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Classical Chart, and established Dinnerstein’s distinctive and original approach. The New York Times called her “a unique voice in the forest of Bach interpretation.” Her career has since taken her around the world from Brazil to Japan and she has made a further eight albums with repertoire from Beethoven to Ravel.

Dinnerstein is committed to musical outreach. She plays concerts for the Piatigorsky Foundation, an organization dedicated to bringing classical music to non-traditional venues. Under their auspices she gave the first classical music performance in the Louisiana state prison system at the Avoyelles Correctional Center. She also runs her own concert series supporting music education in public schools and brings a digital keyboard into elementary school classrooms across the country through her Bachpacking initiative. A winner of the Astral Artists’ National Auditions, Dinnerstein is on the faculty of the Mannes School of Music and lives in Brooklyn with her husband, son and Old English Sheepdog, Daisy.

THE GOLDBERG VARIATIONS PROGRAM NOTES

Within our musical vocabulary, there are a handful of pieces whose nicknames conjure up a wealth of emotional and intellectual wonder, visceral electricity, and pure, joyful adoration. “Tchaik 5” (or 6), “Hammerklavier,” or “Winter Wind,” for example, and “the Goldbergs.” Memorably, the Goldberg variations’ debut to modern society occurred in 1955, when a young, eccentric, Canadian pianist named Glenn Gould stepped into a recording studio. There, he made what has since become an iconic and legendary recording of the work (Pablo Casals did something similar for Bach’s Six Suites for Solo Cello in 1936). Since then, they have been recorded hundreds of times. Far from being redundant, each new rendition recaptures the imagination with seemingly endless nooks and crannies for exploration (aptly described in one NPR article as a “Rubik’s Cube of invention and architecture”). Like the dialogue of a fiercely witty movie, the interplay of relationships between the notes of the variations reveal themselves to the listener on a deeper level with every listen. There are even inside jokes, if you know them (and you will, by the end of this annotation).

Aria mit verschiedenen Veränderungen, “Aria with Diverse Variations,” was the original title for BWV 988. The nickname Goldberg comes from an account of events that has been revealed to be apocryphal due to lack of compelling evidence. That said, the compelling story has had such an impact on the music that it bears a brief re-telling. It originates in 1802 with Johann Nikolaus Forkel, Bach’s first biographer, who related an anecdote about Johann Gottlieb Goldberg—reportedly one of Bach’s students: “The Count [Hermann Carl von Kaiserling of Dresden] was often sickly, and then had sleepless nights. At these times Goldberg, who lived in the house with him, had to pass the night in an adjoining room to play something when the Count could not sleep. The Count once said to Bach that he should like to have some clavier pieces for his Goldberg, which should be of such a soft and somewhat lively character that he might be a little cheered up by them in his sleepless nights.” Thus, so the story goes, Bach wrote the Goldberg variations.

More likely, Bach wrote the variations as the culmination to his Clavier-Übung (“Keyboard Exercise”), a collection of harpsichord and organ works published in four parts from 1731-1741. Part I included the six Partitas, Part II consisted of the Italian Concerto and the

A FAR CRY SEASON 12 Overture after the French Manner, Part III is a master compendium of organ works, and Part IV is the Goldberg variations. As a whole, the Clavier-Übung traverses every style and skill set a keyboardist would need to know.

The opening theme in the Aria owes its harmonic structure to one of Bach’s contemporaries, whom he admired greatly: George Frideric Handel. A side-by-side comparison of Handel’s Chaconne avec 62 variations (HWV 442) reveals an identical base in the first eight bars between the two works. One of the marvels of the Goldberg variations is the beautiful symmetry of the entire work. The thirty variations are divided into two “sections” of fifteen: Nos. 1-15, and Nos. 16-30. Including the Aria that appears both at the outset and the conclusion, Goldberg consists of thirty-two parts total. This macro piece structure is reflected in the microstructure of each variation, most of which are either 16 or 32 measures in length. There are only three minor key variations, the first being No. 15—the last variation of the first part. Variation No. 16 is marked “Overture” to herald the beginning of the second half. Every third variation is a canon at an increasing interval (i.e. No. 3 is a canon at the unison, No. 6 a canon at the second, No. 9 a canon at the third, etc.) up to the ninth, and culminates at No. 30 with a quodlibet—a combination of counterpoint and popular song. Here, towards the end of this lengthy musical journey, is where Bach’s sense of humor shows most prominently. The quodlibet includes popular melodies from Bach’s day, the words of which translate to “I have been away so long from you” and “Cabbage and turnips have driven me away (had my mother cooked meat, I’d have opted to stay).” After meandering through all the musical possibilities, staying almost entirely in the major mode and home key of G, the variations come to an end, and return home to the Aria once again.

Reger’s romantic partsong “Morgengesang” celebrates the eternal light of God in all things, and Bach’s motet rejoices, with Psalm 117, that “the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.”

A FAR CRY SEASON 12 COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS AND EDUCATION WITH A FAR CRY

A Far Cry is passionate about music education and works with students to develop their skills in musicianship and entrepreneurship, emphasizing deep listening and critical thinking. A Far Cry fosters relationships with community groups and educational institutions across the country and has developed the following partnerships in the city of Boston:

Project STEP Residency A Far Cry is honored to be participating in its third year of residency activities at Project STEP, a comprehensive string training program for children from underrepresented communities. The residency includes weekly coaching and mentoring sessions as well as performance demonstrations and masterclasses for the entire Project STEP community.

Criers also coach the Project STEP Honors Quartet, who recently gave a pre-concert performance in Jordan Hall before A Far Cry’s January 11th concert, Legacy.

THE GOLDBERG VARIATIONS New England Conservatory Entrepreneurial Musicianship Fellowship Open to string students at the New England Conservatory, this fellowship provides a 360-degree view of A Far Cry, including all aspects of administration, rehearsal, and performance. Fellows rehearse and perform in a subscription concert with the ensemble, attend group meetings, work directly with AFC’s Executive Director, and participate in musician-run committees. Through this intensive immersion, AFC Fellows are exposed to all aspects of managing and performing in a collaboratively-empowered ensemble.

New England Conservatory Preparatory School Collaborative Competition A Far Cry’s competition through New England Conservatory’s Preparatory Division offers students ages 13-20 the opportunity to perform with A Far Cry on a chosen piece each season. The competition seeks to recognize talented young chamber musicians and inspire deeper communication through musicianship. The winners are invited to rehearse and perform as members of the ensemble, experiencing first-hand the sensitivity and discipline necessary to work as part of a self-conducted chamber orchestra.

A FAR CRY SEASON 12 A FAR CRY’S CAMPAIGN FOR THE SECOND DECADE

A Far Cry is thrilled to present its Campaign for the Second Decade. This campaign marks a milestone in the life of A Far Cry. From a brave beginning in 2007, when these gifted string players performed their first concert together in a small church in Cambridge, to today’s galaxy of compelling performances for audiences in Boston and across the country, the group has come a long, long way.

In 2016/17, the Criers celebrated their 10th season. Astoundingly, they performed 38 concerts in that season, with just one administrative staff member. The Criers themselves have had sleeves rolled up for ten years, and it’s time the organization invested in strong, professional staff to continue to produce all of those concerts.

Having undertaken a strategic planning process led by consultants from Harvard Business School, they are positioned to reach for new and ambitious goals. The Criers now seek professional staff to support a stable organizational structure and initiate a robust marketing and development program. We want to find and attract new audiences, and work with our donors and foundations to make up the funding that ticket sales do not cover. Most important, these initiatives will enable the Criers to shift away from administrative duties towards the artistic core of A Far Cry: adventurous programming and vibrant performances, planned and carried out collectively.

Your gift to the third and final year of the Campaign for the Second Decade will ensure the growth and sustainability of this collaborative enterprise, A Far Cry.
