Lineage traces a line through history, family, and transformation. This is a program about what remains true within the histories we don’t just recall, but build on.


We begin with Georg Muffat’s Passacaglia, a baroque masterpiece built on unceasing variation—a musical form that grounds the listener even as it evolves. Lembit Beecher’s These Memories May Be True, reimagined for string orchestra, explores the murky space between fact and family folklore, where meaning lives not in accuracy but in transmission. Hailstork’s Sonata da Chiesa reflects the composer’s fascination with cathedrals, particularly the one (the Cathedral of All Saints in Albany, New York) in which he was a chorister as a child. And Bartók’s Divertimento for String Orchestra, the first major work ever performed by A Far Cry, returns not as nostalgia, but as a touchstone—vivid, visceral, and alive.
