Osvaldo Golijov is a MacArthur genius composer who s written for Yo-Yo Ma, Kronos Quartet and soprano Dawn Upshaw. But in 2012, he was accused of plagiarism, and he disappeared from the scene. Only now, nearly a decade later, is Golijov reemerging with a work that could not have a more timely subject: it s a meditation on grieving and loss.
