Kaki King: Modern Yesterdays
Friday,
September 30, 2022 | 8:00 PM
Live Arts
returns with a new and bold performing-arts line up bringing a cutting-edge guitar concert and renowned musicians and performers to
the Bickford Theatre such as Kaki King, Horszowski Trio, and Orpheus
Chamber Orchestra.
The season
begins with a guitarist who is considered one of the most unique and
influential artists playing today. Kaki King continues to deconstruct
and redefine the role of a solo instrumental artist though virtuoso
technique, insatiable imagination, and boundless humanity. Her
now-signature multi-media performance, both provocative and moving,
uses projection mapping to present the guitar as a tool that can
shape both music and video content, all triggered (and often
improvised live) via her Ovation Adamas Signature 6-String Acoustic
guitar, customized specifically for her multimedia performance. Art,
Sound, and Motion will be on full display in this stunning display of
music and video.
“a sumptuous
feast for the senses, a dizzying display of sound and vision”—The Boston
Globe
