Music for 6 and 7: Many Instruments, Extraordinary Sounds

About Music for 6 and 7: Many Instruments, Extraordinary Sounds...Our Artistic Directors Jon and Jon bring together several New York artists at the top of their game. Danielle Farina, principal viola of the Cape Symphony, performed at some of the world's most prestigious venues, including Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and the Library of Congress. Israeli-American cellist Inbal Segev played for the Israeli president at just eight years old, and came to international attention ten years later when she made her debuts with both the Berlin Philharmonic and Israel Philharmonic under the baton of Zubin Mehta.

Pawel Knapik is a Polish-American bassist who performs regularly with preeminent New York City orchestras and has also worked with Paul McCartney, Bono and the Edge, Elvis Costello, Jennifer Hudson, Miley Cyrus, and Harry Connick, Jr. Kevin Newton is a GRAMMY®-winning horn player, a member of Imani Winds, and a performer in Broadway orchestras, and he was a featured artist at the 2024 International Horn Symposium. And Cynde Iverson is recognized as one of the finest bassoonists working today; she is Principal Bassoonist with the Stamford Symphony and New Haven Symphony and a member of the American Ballet Theater Orchestra.

This all-star group performs two Festival favorites, one for six players and one for seven, which we will highlight for the first time in many years.
