Workshop Performance by Cellist Maya Beiser: MIT Sounding: Stillness Moves
Saturday, December 02, 2017 at 6:00pm
Theater Arts Building W97, W97 345 Vassar Street, Cambridge, MA
Cellist Maya Beiser is the 2016–18 Mellon Distinguished Visiting Artist at the MIT Center for Art, Science & Technology (CAST).
The culmination of Beiser’s residency will be a workshop performance of “Three Parts Wisdom,” composed by Glenn Kotche from her album TranceClassical, along with music by Bach, Vivaldi and Hildegard Von Bingen. The works are deconstructed and reimagined in a reactive environment where lighting designs by Joshua Higgason of MIT Music & Theater Arts respond to and interact with her music.
