We're honored and delighted to have been selected by Boston Magazine as the BEST CLASSICAL MUSIC ENSEMBLE in their annual "Best of Boston" awards!
Here's what they have to say:
"Dreams and Prayers, A Far Cry’s self-released, Grammy-nominated album with clarinetist David Krakauer, isn’t just one of this year’s best classical recordings, but also one of the best narratives, too. As dramatic as anything in our Netflix queue, Dreams and Prayers—recorded at Sacred Heart Church, in Fall River—is a thoroughly modern, century-spanning, globe-trotting sonic adventure. Catch the group live at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, where it’s the in-house chamber orchestra."
Needless to say, this is pretty darn fantastic. We look forward to roaming the city and visiting all of the other awardees, taking in a brunch at JP's own Tres Gatos, scoring a good read at Brookline Booksmith, enjoying an afternoon at the Museum of Fine Arts, knocking back a pint at The Publick House...
More than anything, though, we appreciate the fact that this Best of Boston win is a sign that we are starting to become a real part of this city that we love.
Swan Boats. The Freedom Trail. Red Sox Nation. A Far Cry.
We like it. We aspire to it.
