In Scheib's 'Desert,' love goes all wrong Jay Scheib, assistant professor in music and theater arts, has created a boundary-blurring theater piece "for a generation raised in the language of film and television." "This Place is a Desert," a "live cinema" study of love gone wrong, will be premiered at Boston's new ICA from March 22 to 25 as its inaugural theater production. Read an interview with Assistant Professor Jay Scheib. "This Place Is a Desert" will be performed March 22 at 7:30 pm, March 23 and 24 at 8 pm and March 25 at 2 pm at Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art (100 Northern Ave., Boston). Tickets cost $20; $15 for ICA members, students and seniors, and are available online. ICA presents Machover work MIT Media Lab composer Tod Machover, known for his innovation as a musician and as a creator of new technology for musical instruments, will present a full evening of music for the Grammy-winning Ying Quartet entitled "...but not simpler.." Built around Tod's new string quartet commissioned by the Ying, this concert of continuous music brings together works from diverse periods and styles that have influenced him-from Bach to Beethoven, Cage to Carter, Byrd to The Beatles-with original electronic interludes. The concert premiered to a sold-out house last season in New York and was given a rave by The New York Times. April 6 is the event's Boston premiere. Read Tod Machover's notes about the program. The concert will be held Friday, April 6 at 6 pm (the 8 pm show is sold out) at Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art (100 Northern Ave., Boston). Tickets cost $20; $15 for ICA members, students and seniors, and are available online. |
