National Sawdust presents oboist James Austin Smith in a program entitled Hearing Memory. Through documentary interviews, story-telling and musical performance, Smith reflects on the complicated legacy of the daring classical music scene that emerged in the 1970s in East Germany, offering a powerful example of musicians creating meaning beyond sound. Works of Friedrich Goldmann, Christfried Schmidt, Georg Katzer and Paul Dessau will be featured alongside the world premiere of a work by Matana Roberts. Smith will be joined by collaborators Yura Lee and Cory Smythe.
