From Grammy- and MacArthur-winner Osvaldo Golijov, The Prior’s Composer-in-Residence, comes a thrilling new work-in-progress on the creation of the universe and the story of life.
At this special sneak peek, audiences will hear selections performed by three of Golijov’s closest collaborators, each of whom embody entire cosmogonies in their music-making: Iranian kamancheh player Kayhan Kalhor, who harvests endless melodies from the remote past; legendary percussionist Cyro Baptista, who channels the rhythmic universes of Africa and Brazil; and electronic artist Jeremy Flower, whose music speaks of the future.
