Music of Remembrance Presents Different Trains January 26, 2013 2-3:30 pm Plestcheeff Auditorium SAM's exhibitions explore the many ways in which artists have responded, in their work, to world-changing events. At Music of Remembrance's (MOR) concert-with-commentary, introduced by MOR's Mina Miller, you'll hear how two living American composers have addressed this challenge. Steve Reich's acclaimed Different Trains was inspired by a childhood of transcontinental train trips between his separated parents in the '40s, juxtaposed with the tragic journeys made by European children on German trains. Lori Laitman's The Seed of Dream is a song cycle based on poetry by Abraham Sutzkever, written in the Vilna Ghetto before he escaped and became a resistance fighter. Free and open to the public.
