Events from March 18 to March 24
What do a luxury automobile, a wall clock, and a cymbal have in common? Daniel Eisenberg’s latest film, The Unstable Object (2011) is an elegant and visually sensual essay on contemporary models of production that quietly probes the relationships our global economy creates among individuals around the world.
Known for a prodigious career of dismantling longstanding musical boundaries, the supremely gifted cellist Frances-Marie Uitti makes a rare Los Angeles appearance for the debut of Michael Jon Fink’s new cello concerto, written especially for her pioneering technique of playing with two bows simultaneously, and chamber ensemble.
The Los Angeles new music high-fliers meet up with the godfather of techno Morton Subotnick for a live revisit to the electronic music pioneer’s iconic works, rendered with new technology. Subotnick performs landmark works with the E.A.R. Unit—collaborators since 1980—in an evening of “spontaneous performance and decision-making.”
