Steve Reich Benefit Concert to Support The Aldrich
12.15.13 The friendship between late artist Sol LeWitt and Pulitzer-Prize winning composer Steve Reich will be celebrated at a special performance to benefit The Aldrich here at (Le) Poisson Rouge. This innovative evening, co-hosted by The Aldrich, Paula Cooper, and Lori and Janusz Ordover on the occasion of the exhibition Sol LeWitt: The Music Collection, will benefit the Museum’s pioneering exhibitions and public programs. Save the date now! Steve Reich will perform Clapping Music and lead a recital of Drumming, a work forever linked to LeWitt. The growing success of the LeWitt’s career in the late 1960s and early 1970s allowed him to purchase scores directly from musicians in order to support their efforts in a world that wasn’t as highly commodified as that of visual art. Reich lacked the funds for the first performance of Drumming, and LeWitt, in a now legendary gesture, purchased several of Reich’s scores, allowing him to acquire the necessary, but expensive, glockenspiels. This performance will complement Music, the Museum’s semester-long series of exhibitions and related events that explore the intersection of art and music in photography, installation, sculpture, new media, performance, and archives. 6:30pm doors // 7:30pm show // All Ages Table seating 8 guests (0 tax deductible) · 00.00 Table seating 4 guests (0 tax deductible) · 0.00 Table seating 2 guests (0 tax deductible) · 0.00 STANDING only ( tax deductible) · .00 For more information, please visit http:// #LiveAtLPR |
