Osvaldo Golijov is an Argentine ‘Grammy Award’-winning composer and music teacher. Since his mother was a piano teacher, music was a major part of his early years. In his childhood, he was influenced by classical and traditional music. After formally learning music, he became a music teacher. He also started composing music and performing at various venues across the globe. Some of his notable works were ‘Yiddishbbuk,’ ‘The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind,’ ‘Oceana,’ ‘Ayre,’ and ‘Ainadamar.’ For ‘Ainadamar,’ he won two ‘Grammys.’ He was appointed as the composer-in-residence for a lot of music venues and music festivals, such as the ‘Merkin Hall,’ the ‘Los Angeles Philharmonic,’ the ‘Ravinia Festival,’ and the ‘Holland Festival.’ He has had his share of controversies, too. He has often missed deadlines in the past, causing a lot of concerts to get postponed or canceled. He has also faced plagiarism allegations.
