The Musicorda Road Company performs music by Jewish composers in two concerts as part of the 17th annual Musicorda Summer Festival, which runs through August 5. The first concert features a performance of movements from Osvaldo Golijov’s “Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind” for string quartet and klezmer clarinet. The second performance includes Mendelssohn’s Trio No. 2 in C Minor. The company, a group of young artists from the Musicorda Chamber Music Institute, travels by van to area communities, performing at hospitals, libraries, museums, churches, synagogues and parks.
