Thanks for your comment, Mark! It was indeed an interesting concept, and a truly ambitious venture. I agree with your perspective; "nostalgia" doesn't seem like an applicable term at all in these instances.
Given the fifty-year time frame, the most interesting idea about the evening's works was the fact that all of the artists involved were either children, or not even alive, at the time of the assassination. That's where Kaminsky's use of the term "reimagine," rather than "recreate," proves vital. There is certainly no way to turn back the clock to a time you vaguely remember or hadn't experienced, but perhaps it is more interesting (from an artistic perspective) to try and interpret the idea, the legacy, the "what could that have felt like" feeling, of life prior to that event.
Thanks for your support, and keep returning to Feast of Music!
