More about the Howl Festival at http://www.howlfestival.com/. Ms. Lauten will again be in performance on Friday, September 11 - 7PM at the New Museum of Contemporary Art, 235 Bowery in Manhattan. The evening, again in connection with the Howl Festival, will be shared with Ms. Lauten's friends Arthur's Landing, a band devoted to keeping alive the music of the late Arthur Russell. This concert will feature Ms. Lauten performing her S.O.S.W.T.C. for solo synthesizer, written in reaction to the 9/11 tragedy, in an emotional state immediately transferred to the keyboard. The composer has written, 'If the piece was composed in reaction to the events surrounding the World Trade Center collapse, it is neither morbid nor elegiac. It is simply, in a Buddhist sense, a comment on reality with out judgment, a meditation on the collective consciousness of the time and a healing intent for the departed spirits of the Twin Towers.' Tickets for the September 11 performance are $10 for New Museum members and $12 for the general public. For more information, call 212-219-1222 or visit http://www.newmuseum.org/events/365.
