This engaging program of modern chamber works features a quintet for clarinet and strings composition by Argentinian born Osvaldo Golijov. His upbringing exposed him to a diversity of musical influences including tango, klezmer, and traditional classical. The piece “The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind” recalls the writings of Isaac, the Kabbalist rabbi, who believed that everything in the universe was a “product of combinations of the Hebrew alphabet’s letters.” Also featured is a work by well-known American minimalist Terry Riley and Gabriela Lena Frank - a contemporary American composer whose captivating music embodies influences of both European classical tradition and Latin American folklore.
