Rooted in David Grossmans novel of the same name, this infinitely nuanced story in voices narrates a profound journey of grief and solace, a journey out of time as parents grieve the death of a child, a quest to comprehend a loss with no name.It so happens that we all are, as a world, living in a moment in which the natural order of things has been upended. More than ever, we are in need of stories that help us make sense of the broken pieces. Falling Out of Time is one such story.RUNNING TIME:One hour and 20 minutes, no intermission.PRELUDES @ THE WALLIS:Join us at 6:30 PM for a pre-concert conversation with the artists moderated by Classical California KUSC's Brian Lauritzen.
