Laurie Anderson
Let X = XComposer, writer, director, visual artist, and vocalist Laurie Anderson takes to the Curran stage to perform material old and new, from her debut album Big Science to her latest recordings with the New York City Band SexMob.
Two-time GRAMMY award winner, Anderson has created ground-breaking works that span art, theatre, experimental music, and technology. Her recording career, launched by Big Science in 1981, includes the soundtrack to her feature film Home of the Brave, and her 2001 album Life on a String. Anderson’s live shows range from simple spoken word to elaborate multi-media stage performances. In 2002, Anderson was appointed the first artist-in-residence of NASA, culminating in her 2004 touring solo performance The End of the Moon. In 2010, a retrospective of her visuals and installation work opened in São Paulo, Brazil. Her largest exhibition to date has been shows at The Smithsonian Hirshhorn Museum of Modern Art in 2022.
For this special West Coast show, Anderson will be joined by Steven Bernstein (trumpet), Briggan Krauss (saxophone), Tony Scherr (bass), Kenny Wollesen (drums) and Doug Weiselman (clarinet).
