Grammy-Nominated chamber orchestra A Far Cry perform string trios by Freya Waley-Cohen, Salina Fisher, Errollyn Wallen, and Jean Cras for an afternoon chamber concert at St. John’s in Jamaica Plain.
Three witches, three muses, three little pigs: The “rule of 3” suggests that humans find groupings of three more satisfying and meaningful than other number combinations. A Far Cry puts that theory to the test with a program of string trios. This sensuous assortment of 20th and 21st century works highlights the intimate and intensely collaborative nature of the genre.

Jean Cras | String Trio
“After playing with a string quartet for a few years, one of our members unfortunately moved. We all still wanted to keep playing with each other and consequently stumbled across all this incredible repertoire. Wallen’s Romeo Turn features viola, cello, and double bass which isn’t so common so we’ll get to show off some different colors. The first time hearing the Cras I thought, ‘Thank god this exists!’
— Crier Francesca McNeeley
