In short

Ariadne Greif is a soprano scheduled to appear as soloist with the conductorless string ensemble A Far Cry in Boston. The concert, titled "Mighty Fortress," pairs Bach's cantata BWV 80 with newer works by Angélica Negrón-adjacent composer Nathalie Joachim...

What to listen for

This program centers on Bach's Cantata No. 80, "Ein' feste Burg ist unser Gott" ("A Mighty Fortress Is Our God"), a work built around a sturdy hymn tune that returns in different guises across several movements, including a soprano-and-continuo duet that listeners can expect to hear shaped with clear diction and a steady, hymn-like pulse. Alongside the Bach, the program opens with Carlos Figgis-Vizueta's "Talamh (land)," a piece for string orchestra likely to unfold in slow-shifting textures rather than a fixed melody. It closes with Julius Eastman's "Gay Guerrilla," a minimalist work built from repeating cells that grow louder and denser, eventually incorporating the same Bach hymn tune, so listeners can expect a program that circles back on itself by design.
