This special concert presents Argentina-born American composer Osvaldo Golijov’s Falling Out of Time, composed for a multicultural, multistylistic instrumental group of musicians that includes members of Silkroad Ensemble. Drawing powerfully on popular and folk-music styles, 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.

This timely presentation of the musical expression of grief on the Symphony Hall stage will move you and make you reflect. Bringing together an impressive group of musicians, this Boston premiere is an opportunity to see a new piece by a remarkable living composer. 

Presented in association with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
