On Saturday night, flutist and Artistic Director, Barbara Siesel will premier a recital-installation piece workshoped during the 2000 Season at Storm King with composer Sidney Corbett and visual a rtist Bruce Wands. This evening-length work, also on the theme of emigration, will incorporate some of the photographic works on exhibition at the Ogden Gallery with other elements of video, film, and photography. The piece will narrate the story of one family's experience during the Holocaust, and is unique in its mixing of a traditional recital with the tools of new technology and computer animation.
