Dreams and Prayers opens our 9th season with a piece written for Delgani, a gift from Iranian composer Reza Vali, who bases his musical “calligraphies” on classical Persian modes. Smetana’s autobiographic “From My Life” depicts the hopes and dreams of a young composer and the subsequent loves and losses of his life. On the second half, clarinetist Wonkak Kim joins Delgani for Osvaldo Golijov’s The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind, a mystical epic inspired by Jewish music, history, and language.
