I wish I could have heard it (or the delayed radio broadcast).<BR/><BR/>Here is Thomas May's extensive program note to the performance, as well as UNESCO's link "A Visit to Goree Island" (and its Slave House):<BR/><BR/>http://www.sfsymphony.com/templates/pgmnote.asp?nodeid=4377&callid=4386<BR/><BR/>http://webworld.unesco.org/goree/<BR/><BR/>*<BR/><BR/>[Don't try typing Xenakis or Ligeti -- both programmed this season -- into the Search feature of the San Francisco Symphony website.
