In a world for which Neharo't Neharo't had suddenly become painfully relevant once again: the man lamenting his love in the gentle ending could have been lamenting the Kurds.

The Aurora Orchestra performed and supported a teeming program that took in Norwegian/Appalachian folk music, Mahler and a world premiere.
