Silkroad Ensemble: “Falling Out of Time”

Conceived by Yo-Yo Ma in 1998, the Silkroad Ensemble creates music that engages difference, sparking radical cultural collaboration and passion-driven learning to build a more hopeful world. For this performance, Silkroad has teamed up with composer Osvaldo Golijov to create a brand new song cycle, “Falling Out of Time,” based on the Israeli writer David Grossman’s book exploring grief and loss. The work features vocalist Wu Tong and singer-songwriter Nora Fischer.
