Composer Gilad Cohen grew up in Israel listening to Pink Floyd. He also played classical piano, and when he moved to the United States, he heard klezmer music in synagogue for the first time. On today's show, hear members of Musici Ireland play a piece that combines each of those styles: "A Trio for Spry Clarinet, Weeping Cello, and Ruminating Harp" by Gilad Cohen.
