"CreArtBox fuses together a variety of art forms to create a wholly authentic, visually and aurally compelling experience." -The New Yorker

This internationally-known chamber ensemble blends music and projected visuals, along with candlelight at The Angel Nyack housed in the historic sanctuary of the First Reformed Church.

This program features a selection of renowned works for this instrumentation, including trios by Mendelssohn and Weber. It also explores the minimalist landscape through the captivating compositions of Max Richter and Andrea Casarrubios, while the visceral expressiveness of Ravel's Kaddish and Scriabin's Romance add depth and diversity to the auditory experience.

Hosted by Elliott Forrest, WQXR Host and ArtsRock, Executive Artistic Director.
