The Night of the Flying Hourses presented by Midwest Theater

The Night of the Flying Horses
collectif9 is proud to present The Night of the Flying Horses.  An evening filled with music that has enchanted and energized us for centuries.  Centered around the music of Osvaldo Golijov, an Argentinian contemporary composer with international roots, The Night of the Flying Horses explores moments of wonder and melancholy, interspersed with frenetic, electrifying cavalcades of sound.  With works spanning over five centuries, this show features music inspired by the Gypsy musicians of more than 500 years ago (known to us through the Romanian band Taraf de Haidouks), the Baroque extravagance of Francois Couperin, and classical music from the 21st century.
