Artistic Director Barry Shiffman expands this year’s Festival with three primary initiatives—Community Engagement, Investment and Innovation, and Performance Excellence. The Festival brings 36 festival debuts and the artists will create new artistic experiences with works by contemporary composers, including this year’s composer-in-residence Osvaldo Golijov.
