A Far Cry, the Grammy-nominated chamber orchestra at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, will perform as a part of the Museum’s Sunday Concert Series.

A Far Cry has been the Gardner’s Chamber Orchestra in Residence since 2010.

What started as a group of 17 young professional musicians has evolved to an 18 member group that expands the way music is prepared, performed, and experienced.

The group is known for their self-conducting, musical variety, and involvement in a new generation of classical music.

The program, entitled “Zoom In”, will feature Dutilleux, Ainsi la Nuit; Webern, Langsamer Satz; Muffat, Ciacona from Cto.

XII, Propitia sydera; O’Connor, Quartet No.

3, Old-Time.

The Sunday Concert Series features world-class, emerging musicians who will reinvigorate and reinterpret classical masterpieces.

A Far Cry’s performance will take place on Sunday, December 11 at 1:30 p.m. in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum’s Calderwood Hall, located at 25 Evans Way, Boston, Mass.

Tickets are required, which may be purchased in advance or at the door, and include Museum admission.

To purchase in advance, visit the Museum website or call the box office at 617-278-5156.

Admission is $27 for adults; $24 for seniors, $17 for students with valid IDs; and youth age 7 and under are not admitted.

The Sunday Concert Series is sponsored in part by Hemenway & Barnes LLP.

The Museum thanks its generous concert donors: Fitzpatrick Family Concert; James Lawrence Memorial Concert; Alford P.

This project is supported in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, which receives support from the State of Massachusetts and the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Boston Cultural Council, a local agency which is funded by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, administrated by the Mayor's Office of Arts and Culture.
