This special concert presents Argentina-born American composer Osvaldo Golijov’s Falling Out of Time, composed for a multi-cultural, multi-stylistic instrumental group of musicians that includes members of Silkroad Ensemble. Drawing powerfully on popular and folk-music styles, and based on David Grossman’s experimental novel about parents’ grief at the loss of a child, Golijov’s urgently impactful piece is here presented in a semi-staged performance.
