- “An evening of exploration from a master cellist”
- by Jeremy Eichler

The New Gallery Concert Series aims to make these connections explicit by presenting the two arts in dialogue ….

- Music Center Home to Two Wonderful Series
- by Stephen Marc Beaudoin
- “…Speaking of programs both cohesive and diverse, what does that fiery pianist Sarah Bob have in store for us on this year’s New Gallery Concert Series, also housed at the CMCB? ‘The 2002-2003 Series season is rich and exciting not just because of the diverse programming, but also the intense commitment from all of its participants AND audience members,’ enthused Bob. ‘The energy is real and the devotion is infectious. World premieres are a norm, especially for the October 17 concert, ranging from the beautifully choreographed performance of Jennifer Stasack’s ‘Six Elegies Dancing’ to ‘The Backbone Flute,’ a piece for tape and seven string electric violin, performed and composed by Adam James Wilson. The truth is, there is no limit to what defines ‘new music’ (or ‘new art’ for that matter) and that exploration is exactly what the New Gallery Concert Series is all about.’”
