Reuning & Son Violins & A Far Cry’s Concert to Feature $100 Million Instrument Vault

The reprised event, titled "Stradivari Serenade," will be streamed on The VIolin Channel on April 2, 2024

A Far Cry (AFC) recently announced a reprise of one of the most popular events in the organization’s history, "Stradivari Serenade," at New England Conservatory, in Boston.

In partnership with Boston-based Reuning & Son Violins, the orchestra will present a unique concert experience featuring 18 musicians on 18 of the finest instruments in the world crafted by Stradivari, Guarneri, and Amati.

All the instruments will be hand-selected from Christopher Reuning & Son Violins' vault, valued at over $100 million.

The program includes what has become a signature piece for A Far Cry – Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings — plus works by Bach, Janáček, and a traditional dance from Veracruz arranged by AFC violinist Alex Fortes.

Happening live on March 29, 8 PM at New England Conservatory's Jordan Hall, tickets are available here.

"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."

For audiences outside of Boston, The Violin Channel will be streaming the concert on April 2 at 6 PM (ET).
