A reconstructed historic barn is the perfect place to listen with fresh ears to intriguing, expanding sound worlds. Mesmerizing “music-making machines” make way for a “whimsical, mystical, generous world of sounds echoing and colliding” by the Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw, and the wonderfully imaginative juxtapositions of Carrot Revolution. Bruch’s exuberant Octet is almost orchestral in its rich tones and expansive scale—lyrical and profoundly majestic.
