Boston Symphony Orchestra clarinetist Chris Elchico appears with the Boston Conservatory Faculty String Quartet for a program anchored in Osvaldo Golijov's The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind (1997).
Combining klezmer idioms with meditative, mystical ensemble writing, the composer calls the work "a kind of epic, a history of Judaism."
