Rothko Chapel
Friday, November 5, 7:30 p.m. (Doors 5p.m., D.J. 6:30 p.m.)
Programmed by Sarah Cahill
The UC Berkeley Chamber Chorus, directed by Marika Kuzma, and the Abel-Steinberg-Winant Trio perform Morton Feldman’s affecting, meditative masterpiece Rothko Chapel, in the resonant architecture of the Berkeley Art Museum. The reflective, elegiac mood is continued and enhanced by performances of Robert Ashley’s choral work She Was a Visitor, Lou Harrison’s gamelan composition Threnody for Carlos Chávez, and Roscoe Mitchell’s monument for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, Bells for New Orleans.
L@TE: Friday Nights @ BAM/PFA
From meditative masterpieces to off-kilter performances, L@TE programming invades Gallery B with classical and experimental soundworks, dance, video, and conceptual and performance art. Guest programmer Sarah Cahill continues to focus on the experimental tradition of American music, while guest programmer Tomo Yasuda’s L@TE series concludes its dialogue with the exhibition Flowers of the Four Seasons: Ten Centuries of Art from the Clark Collection for Japanese Art and Culture. In conjunction with Radical Light, Radical L@TE recreates a 1975 performance and brings us up to the present with video-mediated cross-dressing and travel films made for plants.
Friday night programs typically begin at 7:30 p.m. in Gallery B; doors open at 5 p.m. with DJs in the lobby or Gallery B at 6:30 p.m. Admission is $7; free for BAM/PFA members and Cal students.
