The eight cellists in Tarab Cello Ensemble play their instruments as if they were their alter egos. The cellos sound like nothing so much as a group of eight human voices conversing, singing, clicking, and expressing emotions from glee to grief. In fact, the ensemble takes its name from the Arabic word tarab, describing an intense emotion, often ascending to a state of ecstasy, brought about by deeply powerful melodic lines. On Sunday, February 5, this �double quartet� will perform work by contemporary composers in Forsyth Chapel at Forest Hills Cemetery in Jamaica Plain. The program includes music by Larry Bell (head of music theory at New England Conservatory), Garrett Byrnes, David Liptak, Brad Lubman, Aaron Travers, and Dan Trueman � many of them commissioned specially for this 8-cello ensemble. Composers Bell and Byrnes will be present.
Two years ago, Forest Hills Educational Trust program director Abigail Norman heard Tarab Cello Ensemble at the Boston Conservatory�s New Music Festival. She knew then she wanted to bring them back to Boston to perform in Forsyth Chapel, the intimate space at Forest Hills Cemetery that has been presenting an eclectic concert series since 2002. �The sound of these eight cellos in this small, resonant chapel will be heart-stopping,� she said. A concert and workshop for students at Phillips Andover Academy completes Tarab�s Boston stay.
Tarab�s founder is New York-based Florent Renard-Payen; its other members converge from throughout the United States; the group formed in 2000 among graduates and faculty of the Eastman School of Music in upstate New York. (Details at www.tarabcello.com.)
Admission is $15. Reservations: 617.524.3354. Details at http://www.foresthillstrust.org/calendar.html
