Five Boroughs Music Festival, in partnership with the SHEEN CENTER FOR THOUGHT AND CULTURE and FLUSHING TOWN HALL, is proud to present the CRAMER QUARTET in their premiere performances of the Seven Last Words Project.

The Seven Last Words Project is an immersive string quartet performance that interweaves seven new works by composers Jessica Meyer, Colin Jacobsen, Nico Muhly, Tania León, Reena Esmail, Paola Prestini, and Caroline Shaw with Franz Joseph Haydn’s nine-movement masterpiece The Seven Last Words of Christ. Each of the new works is written as a response to a movement of the Haydn, taking the place of sermons that would traditionally be given in a church service setting. The result is a quilting of old and new and a meditation on these seven famed phrases from a contemporary and global viewpoint.

At the Sheen Center, audiences will also have the opportunity to experience the performance with accompanying digital projections designed by CAMILLA TASSI, a new and experimental component of the Seven Last Words Project and the start of an ongoing partnership with the Cramer Quartet.
