We're coming to you directly from New England Conservatory's Jordan Hall in Boston, Massachusetts, for a special concert featuring fine instruments performed by A Far Cry, a self-conducted chamber orchestra based in Boston.

Each of the 18 members of the A Far Cry ensemble will perform on a collection of the world’s finest Cremonese string instruments crafted by Stradivari, Guarneri, and Amati – all hand-selected from the vault of Christopher Reuning & Son Violins.

"Our first Stradivari Serenade event left such an indelible memory for me and I am excited to relive and share the sonic beauty of these masterpieces with a new audience," Christopher Reuning told The Violin Channel. "The combination of these instruments in the hands of the wonderful A Far Cry musicians in the gorgeous acoustic of Jordan Hall promises to be a very special event once again."
