Video from Nov. 13, 2016 Wind Gave Birth to Me Concert

Here is the link to the Nov. 13th performance by WomenPerformHers of "The Wind Gave Birth to Me."  I have two pieces on the program, and Interlude at 58:54 (Magnetic Fields is my title) and "Ikh Hob a Shvalb Gezen" at 1:03:25.  The header for that one says Beth Altoff, but she was the soprano not the composer!
