Evening Music | May 6, 2010
With his music for artists like Dawn Upshaw, Yo-Yo Ma and The Silk Road Ensemble, and for films like Francis Ford Coppolla's "Youth Without Youth," Osvaldo Golijov has emerged as one of the top composers of his generation. Today marks Golijov's 48th birthday, which we mark with several of his works including the "Night of the Flying Horses" Suite, "Tenebrae," "Last Round," and excerpts from his opera "Ainadamar."
