About the event
Salastina’s Resident Flutist Benjamin Smolen sought out and befriended Walter Arlen, an Austrian-born, gay Jewish composer who fled the Nazis, ultimately spending most of his life and career in Southern California. Sadly, Ben never had the chance to perform Walter’s music before he passed away last September at age 103. Ben curates this posthumous celebration of the life and works of a man who continues to inspire him.
