Lembit Beecher's And Then I Remember
On FRIDAY, JANUARY 20 and SATURDAY JANUARY 21, 2012, 8pm at New York City's DIMENNA CENTER FOR CLASSICAL MUSIC, Estonian-American composer and current Composer in Residence of the Opera Company of Philadelphia (a residence in partnership with Gotham Chamber Opera and Music-Theatre Group,) LEMBIT BEECHER presents a program of his own works, including the world premiere of THREE IMMIGRANT SONGS, and the New York City premiere of his acclaimed documentary oratorio, AND THEN I REMEMBER.
In both works, Beecher uses the colors and textures of chamber music and the power of the human voice to tell stories of the immigrant experience, with texts ranging from traditional folk song to published poetry, to poems scrawled on the wall of a holding cell, to a first person account of love, war, immense loss and renewal.
