Subject: [Leica] OT: Peter's Symphony preview article

The Seattle Symphony is currently presenting a "Coming to America" 
festival, featuring music of composers who came here from other 
countries.  I just wrote an article about the rediscovery of a piece that 
was thought lost, written by seven important composers, six of them 
European composers in exile in Hollywood during WWII. A fascinating story, 
with some Agatha Christie-ish overtones.  I'm hearing the piece 
tonight.  It was recorded a few years back, but this is the first time it's 
being performed "live" since its one and only performance in 1945.
