[M] Stanford Lively Arts presents: Bach Recital | Richard Egarr, harpsichord at Dinkelspiel Auditorium, Stanford University
(in Stanford, Santa Clara County, State of California, USA, Earth)
TIME(S): 8pm / 20:00
DATE(S): Wednesday, February 1, 2012
DESCRIPTION:
Last seen at Lively Arts directing the Academy of Ancient Music, Richard Egarr returns for a solo harpsichord performance of one of the most beloved and influential works in the keyboard literature: Johann Sebastian Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1. Dubbing Egarr “the Bernstein of Early Music” for his rapport with audiences, NPR’s All Things Considered observed, “While he has wonderful technique, he’s much more than a virtuoso of finger work; Egarr is a virtuoso of nuance, of dancing rhythms and sparking melodies. He’s one of the most exciting and delightful musicians of our time.”

EVENT:
[M] Stanford Lively Arts presents: Kronos Quartet with Alim Qasimov Ensemble at Dinkelspiel Auditorium, Stanford University
(in Stanford, Santa Clara County, State of California, USA, Earth)
TIME(S): 8pm / 20:00
DATE(S): Sunday, February 12, 2012
DESCRIPTION:
Renowned for finding musical common ground across a seemingly limitless expanse of cultures and traditions, Grammy-winners and Lively Arts favorites the Kronos Quartet return for a solo set and a joint performance with Azerbaijan’s revered Alim Qasimov Ensemble—a magically cohesive partnership heard on Kronos’ recent albums Floodplain (2009) and Rainbow (2010). A member of Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble and winner of the prestigious IMC-UNESCO International Music Prize, Qasimov is one of the greatest living masters of mugham, a classical Azerbaijani vocal tradition. Kronos founder/violinist David Harrington said he was “magnetized” upon first hearing Qasimov sing, adding, “His voice drew me so close that it has become part of my own inner singing.”

EVENT:
[M] Stanford Lively Arts presents: TAO: The Art of the Drum at Memorial Auditorium, Stanford University
(in Stanford, Santa Clara County, State of California, USA, Earth)
TIME(S): 8pm / 20:00
DATE(S): Tuesday, February 14, 2012
DESCRIPTION:
Veritable “rock stars” of taiko (Japanese for “drum”), the 20 virtuoso members of TAO make breathtaking use of their disciplined, athletic conditioning. Imagine a 12-mile run followed by four hours of non-stop drumming: all in a day’s work for TAO at its rural compound on the island of Kyushu. But the secret ingredient that has earned TAO its reputation as one of the world’s top taiko companies is its dynamic, modern take on traditional Japanese drumming, which includes anime, martial arts, newly composed music, and blazing choreography.
