THE SMITH QUARTET
JOBY BURGESS PERCUSSION

Memory and reflection run through this evening of rhythmic, dancing music. Reich’s powerful, haunting Different Trains weaves the recorded recollections of Pullman Porters, a 1940s nanny and holocaust survivors through the colours of the string quartet, while Martland’s work for marimba and quartet dances through memories of Africa beneath a starry sky.
