"There is no name yet for this kind of music," writes Los Angeles Times music critic Mark Swed. But audiences around the globe are hearing more and more of David Lang's work: In performances by organizations such as the Next Wave Festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Santa Fe Opera, and the New York Philharmonic. This lecture/performance is a part of a consortium with SUNY Oswego and LeMoyne College that brings musicians to Syracuse for 3-4 days to perform and educate at each venue.

Monday, March 1, 11:15 am
Poet Li-Young Lee was born in 1957 in Jakarta, Indonesia, to Chinese parents. His father had been a personal physician to Mao Zedong while in China, and relocated the family to Indonesia, where he helped found Gamaliel University. In 1959, the Lee family fled the country to escape anti-Chinese sentiment and after a five-year trek through Hong Kong, Macau, and Japan, they settled in the United States in 1964. Lee attended the Universities of Pittsburgh and Arizona, and the State University of New York at Brockport. He has taught at several universities, including Northwestern and the University of Iowa.
