A lush fusion of Arabic, Hebrew, Sardinian and Sephardic folk melodies and texts, Argentinian composer Osvaldo Golijov's Ayre is a brilliant example of 21st-century cultural counterpoint. Sung by acclaimed Lebanese-Canadian Soprano Miriam Khalil with some of Canada's top musicians from Against the Grain Theatre's live performances at the Ismaili Centre in Toronto in November 2016.
