BOCCHERINI Guitar Quintet in D • CRUMB Ancient Voices of Children
George Crumb possesses one of the most distinctive voices in modern music, which blends the craftsmanship of Bach with the theatricality of Mahler and folk music from around the world. His Ancient Voices of Children is an unforgettable setting of poetry by Federico Garcia Lorca, and it will be sung by Tony Arnold (right, bottom), whose recording of the piece was nominated for a Grammy.

“The Pyxis Quartet is brand-new, but you would not know it by their ensemble playing…the entire concert was delightful.”
