Back from the final dress rehearsal for tomorrow night's program at the University of MN celebrating the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. I am narrating pieces by Aaron Copland and the harrowing Arnold Schoenberg "A Survivor from Warsaw" with a 45 piece orchestra and a large men's choir. Other stunning items on the program include a gorgeous new commission, a festive piece by English composer William Walton, and Steve Reich's "Different Trains" with accompanying video. Also featured: a dancer and a powerful solo baritone.
