Name
Kronos Quartet: My Lai
Description
The infamous 1968 massacre of Vietnamese villagers by American soldiers at My Lai provides the context for this gripping new work written by Stanford faculty composer Jonathan Berger for the Kronos Quartet, tenor Rinde Eckert, and Vietnamese multi-instrumental Vân-Ánh Vanessa Vô. My Lai, which uses traditional Vietnamese percussion and digitally processed sounds, is told from the perspective of the heroic helicopter pilot who tried to stop the slaughter and was vilified for reporting it.
