Frisson
Ensemble, an 11-member group said to feature the best and brightest of classical music鈥檚 rising stars, will perform at St. 缅北强奸鈥檚 Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 3.
This is the third concert of the 2021-2022 Friends of Good Music performance season.
The ensemble, under the artistic direction of Thomas Gallant, will perform music for the holidays including such favorites as Tchaikovsky鈥檚 鈥淣utcracker Suite,鈥 excerpts from Handel鈥檚 鈥淢essiah,鈥 Bach鈥檚
Brandenburg Concerto No. 4, and 鈥淲inter鈥 from Vivaldi鈥檚 鈥淭he Four Seasons.鈥
The evening will close with traditional carols in arrangements by Frisson. The audience will be encouraged to sing along.
Frisson, based in New York City, is composed mostly of recent graduates from such prestigious schools as Manhattan School of Music, Yale School of Music and the Juilliard School. Frisson showcases myriad rarely-performed masterworks, and the group expands
and contracts into a variety of ensembles, including quintets, sextets, nonets, and a small chamber orchestra.
Founded in 2016, Frisson has become known for its diverse repertoire and inventive musical arrangements that showcase masterworks both rare and familiar. The ensemble performs in more than 25 cities annually including appearances in such diverse venues
as the Morgan Library and Museum in New York City, the Da Camera Society in Los Angeles, and at the Bermuda Festival.
鈥淚t is a delight to present a live holiday concert again, and especially with this dynamic ensemble,鈥 said Ludwig Brunner, executive director of The Quick Center. 鈥淭hese young musicians are each brilliant in their own right and together
under the artistic direction of Thomas Gallant, their musicianship and programming truly sparkle. And I expect a rousing finale from our audience singing along to traditional carols.鈥
