Explore the sights & sounds of space through Argentinian composer, Osvaldo Golijov's work, "Sidereus" with conductor Dirk Meyer!

Composed in 2010, "Sidereus" was commissioned by the League of American Orchestras in honor of former president Henry Fogel's years of service to the orchestral world. Golijov wanted Sidereus, meaning "belonging to the stars," to evoke the emotion he felt while staring up at the night sky over his home in Patagonia, Argentina.
