Music of Remembrance Commissions New Holocaust Cycle

Music of Remembrance, a Seattle-based nonprofit organization dedicated to remembering Holocaust musicians and their art through musical performances, educational activities, musical recordings, and commissions of new works, has commissioned Lori to compose a new song cycle for baritone, cello, and piano. Lori is setting the poems of Vilna Ghetto survivor Abraham Sutzkever (translated by C.K. Williams). The premiere is scheduled for May, 2005 and will take place at the Illsley Ball Nordstrom Recital Hall at Benaroya Hall in Seattle, Washington.
