Anderson Center 2010-11 schedule
August 24, 2010
Grammy-winning guitarist Pat Metheny will bring his 鈥淥rchestrion Tour鈥� to the Anderson Center at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 19.
The Orchestrion is an ensemble of 40 mechanical instruments integrating conventional acoustic sounds with robotic technology controlled entirely by Metheny. His idea for the Orchestrion grew out of his childhood fascination with a turn-of-the-century player piano owned by his grandparents.
The Orchestrion merges an idea from the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the technologies of today to create a new, open-ended platform for musical composition, improvisation and performance.
Metheny, who has won 17 Grammys and earned several gold records, has taught at the University of Miami and the Berklee College of Music. He averages between 120-140 shows a year.
Other Anderson Center performances scheduled for the 2010-11 season are:
The National Dance Company of the Philippines, 8 p.m., Nov. 17: Based on the ancient tradition of Bayanihan (working together for the common good), the company provides a glimpse into the indigenous dance and music traditions of the Philippines.
