Three Violins
The noted musician, filmmaker, and video artist Tony Conrad
will present his new work "Three Violins." Conrad is an exceptionally interesting and important
figure in contemporary experimental art. In the 1960's he was
associated as a violinist with such legendary ensembles as the
Theater of Eternal Music and the Velvet Underground, thus
making important contributions to the development of minimal
music. In addition, his 1965 film "The Flicker" is a seminal work
in experimental cinema, and has been followed by numerous video
works. Conrad now teaches video at SUNY Buffalo, and performs
around the world.

Misha Mengelberg
Misha Mengelberg has been a pivotal figure with the Dutch improvised music scene as a pianist, composer, and bandleader over the past four decades. His piano playing draws on the harmonic and rhythmic structures of Thelonius Monk (and before him Ellington and Basie) and Herbie Nicols, but the range of influences he brings to the music goes well beyond jazz. Mengelberg was the founder of the indescribably eclectic Instant Composers Pool (ICP) Orchestra, a showcase for his idiosyncratic compositions and dynamic free and conducted improvisations. He has performed and recorded extensively with Han Bennink, George Lewis, Peter Brötzmann, and Steve Lacy to name a few.
