In short

Charlot Lucien appears as narrator with A Far Cry in a Cambridge, Massachusetts program titled "Coming to Boston: From Haiti," which places Haitian composers alongside string quartet repertoire. Based on this appearance, he brings a storytelling role to a concert exploring Haitian musical history and its diaspora connections to New England.

What to listen for

This program pairs works by Haitian and Haitian-diaspora composers with 20th century European quartet writing, and Lucien's narration is built into the concert to guide listeners through that connection. Expect spoken commentary threaded between pieces: Werner Jaegerhuber's "Plainte Nocturne No. 1," a short work drawing on Haitian folk melody and mourning song traditions; Michael Tippett's String Quartet No. 1, an early 20th century British piece with restless, contrapuntal energy; movements from Jean "Rudy" Perrault's second quartet, subtitled for a zombie mythology theme, likely angular and dramatic in character; and Daniel Bernard Roumain's String Quartet No. 1 "X," known for blending classical quartet writing with rhythms and gestures drawn from popular and vernacular Black music. A listener can expect the narration to frame each work's place in a larger story about Haiti's musical voice.
