Crossing Boundaries Concert Series Vol. 11: ZERO GRASSES by Vocalist/Multi-Instrumentalist/Composer Jen Shyu

December 13日, 2019 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm UTC+0

CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) では、 CROSSING BOUNDARIES Concert Series 第11弾「ZERO GRASSES」を行います。

ビデオフィールドワークに加えて、シュ氏自身が作曲された音楽を演奏します。
公演前には観客参加型のインターメディアワークショップ(6時半開始予定)も開催します。

This powerful autobiographical work arose out of an intense period of self-reflection following the sudden death of her father and visit to a fertility clinic. Effortlessly weaving together music, monologue and video projection, Jen traces the threads of her life to explore the painful terrain of expectation, ambition, longing and love.

Enjoy the music video for one of the songs from the show, “Life As You Envision”:

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Jen Shyu has performed with saxophonist and 2014 MacArthur Fellow Steve Coleman since 2003 and has collaborated with many luminaries. Shyu has performed her own music at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, BAM, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Rubin Museum of Art, Asia Society, Blue Note, National Theater of Korea, etc.

A Stanford graduate in opera with classical violin and ballet training, Shyu won many piano competitions and studied traditional music and dance in Cuba, Taiwan, Brazil, China, South Korea, East Timor and Indonesia. Shyu has won commissions and support from MAP Fund, the NEA, Jerome Foundation, etc., as well as fellowships from the Asian Cultural Council, Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, etc.

Shyu has produced seven albums as a leader, the most recent two included on The New York Times’ Best Albums lists. Ben Ratliff wrote in The New York Times that her concerts are “the most arresting performances I’ve seen over the past five years. It’s not just the meticulous preparation of the work and the range of its reference, but its flexibility: She seems open, instinctual, almost fearless.”

ABOUT CROSSING BOUNDARIES

Now in its second year, CROSSING BOUNDARIES is a performance series devoted to creating unforgettable live art experiences that dissolve boundaries between performers and audiences, traditional and new music, and the local and the global, bringing people together and promoting the awareness that we each possess a limitless creativity inside us. 

CRS has from its inception in 2004 attracted many people from abroad, and has become known for presenting healing, arts, and cultural programs from around the world and from Asia in particular. There is a long tradition of interdisciplinarity in Asian arts, where ritual practices have always involved elements of dance, theatre, improvised music, and storytelling, and this season will build on that tradition.
