George Lewis - Artspeaks

Описание: November 12, 2010

Join us for an evening with acclaimed composer, improvisor, and Columbia University scholar George Lewis, featuring the AACM Great Black Music Ensemble, premier European free jazz pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach, and Arnold I. Davidson, the Robert O. Anderson Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago. Currently in residence at the University's Center for Disciplinary Innovation, Lewis and his collaborators will explore the relationship between humans and machines, musicians and their instruments, improvisation, social responsibility, and agency through both live performance and discussion. The evening will feature the very first creative collaboration between the Great Black Music Ensemble and Alexander von Schlippenbach, bringing together two renowned traditions of creative improvised music — European and American — that have excited generations of composers, improvisors, and audiences around the world.
