Another world premiere comes from composer Bruce Saylor, which focuses on the Syrian diaspora and utilizes texts from ancient and contemporary Arab poets. Chino Toledo’s rousing piece “Sitsit Digidong” includes both Tagalog and nonsense syllables in a highly rhythmic and energetic celebration of language and sound. Also on the program: works by Bushra El-Turk, Mario Gullo, and Leah Ofman.
