Life, Death, and Everything Else

Sunday Jan 11, 2009

Alec has assembled an unusual quintet featuring two keyboardists and two drummers for a show at the Performance Hall in the Shanghai Oriental Arts Center. The theatre is absolutely beautiful, with a circular stage and steeply sloped seats which wrap around for good visibilty. Most importantly, the acoustics are beautiful. Alec is writing brand-new material, weaving together themes of Schoenberg, Messian, and Bach, and re- inventing them in an improvisational way. Mark your calendars and don't miss this concert. This will be a special event. Before the show, (or afterwards), take a nice stroll in Century Park, located adjacently.
