Numerous live concert footage of A Far Cry, Boston's proud conductor-less chamber orchestra.
Name: A Far Cry
Hailed 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.

Operating 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 fund raising.

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.
