Chaya Czernowin’s Unforeseen dusk: bones into wings “leads us to an undiscovered connection between outer and inner nature — deeply moving, familiar, yet at the same time alien and synesthetic,” says the composer. Brad Lubman conducts this performance featuring soloists from the award-winning Neue Vocalsolisten and with Students from the Juilliard Orchestra joining the New York Philharmonic.
