Laurie Anderson will talk about her ever-evolving development of new instruments and interfaces for her productions and performances, and her “new rig,” which finally allows her to travel with a suitcase of her custom configuration of instruments. She will be joined by her software and hardware collaborators Konrad Kaczmarek, Liubo Borissov, and Shane Koss. She will also discuss her new work with the Kronos Quartet, which premieres in March as part of the inaugural performances of the Bing Concert Hall at Stanford. Reservations are highly recommended and can be made in person at the box office or over the phone at 518.276.3921 starting Jan 29. Tickets will be available for pick-up starting at 5PM the evening of the performance; they must be claimed by 6:45 p.m. or they will be released.
