Go out from your land, your people, your father’s house.
“Lech le-cha”
I remember my father saying: that’s the story of my life.– Michael Gordon, in Travel Guide to Nicaragua
Having the distinction of being our first work canceled during the pandemic, Michael Gordon’s Travel Guide to Nicaragua, with master new-music cellist Maya Beiser, finally receives its intended Carnegie Hall and Philadelphia debuts. This second of a series of autobiographical works (following on his Anonymous Man, also written for us) visits scenes of Michael’s childhood in a family of European Jewish refugees in Central America. A look at the intersection of memory and emotion, presented with candor, melancholy, and humor, as well as Michael’s uniquely personal, innovative style.
