Laurie Anderson is of great inspiration to the FMLY and I couldn’t be more pleased to let you all know about her free show in NY this Summer at the World Financial Center.
Songs of Love & Despair: A Musical Tribute to Pablo Neruda
Wednesday, April 15
WFC Winter Garden
Regarded as one of the greatest and most influential poets of the 20th century, Chilean poet and Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda was a master of styles, ranging from erotically charged verses and historical epics to political manifestos and surrealist poems. In honor of National Poetry Month, an international roster of distinctive musicians and artists, including Clogs, Pedro Soler with Beñat Achiary, Laurie Anderson, Irene & Vojtech Havel, Colin Stetson and others, gathers to celebrate Neruda’s work through music, spoken-word and song.
I can’t even begin to write about why Laurie Anderson is so incredible. Read her wikipedia, watch some youtube videos, and prepare to be melted. For a complete list of free shows this Summer at the World Financial Center just go here.
