Forward Into Light — Album Launch Celebration

Live performance · Artist conversation · Napa wine · Signed CD · Extraordinary room

An intimate evening of live music, conversation, and wine at one of the most extraordinary rooms in New York — Tarisio, the world's foremost rare instrument auction house, where Stradivaris and Guarneris have been played, studied, and entrusted to their next guardians.
Members of Metropolis Ensemble perform the original string quartet version of Drink the Wild Ayre — the final commission for the Emerson String Quartet's farewell tour, now reimagined for string orchestra and solo harp on Forward Into Light. The New York Times calls composer Sarah Kirkland Snider's music "rapturous." The Boston Globe calls it "groundbreaking." NPR: "ravishingly beautiful." The New Yorker praises her "unerring knack for breathtaking beauty."
Snider joins 6-time GRAMMY-winning engineer Silas Brown and Metropolis Artistic Director Andrew Cyr for a conversation about the making of the album.

The ensemble is led by GRAMMY-winning violinist Henry Wang, who served as concertmaster on the album recording. He is joined by longtime Metropolis collaborators who also perform together as members of the internationally celebrated Calidore Quartet.
