TICKETS + INFORMATION

Hal Willner made a whole series of concept albums inviting varied artists to reimagine particular bodies of work (my favorite is the Kurt Weill one; everybody else’s favorite is the Walt Disney). The first treated Nino Rota’s soundtracks for Fellini, and tonight is a revisitation following Willner’s death in the Pandemic. If I tell you the names of only some of the members of the large ensemble that’s been assembled, you won’t believe it: Bill Frisell, Laurie Anderson, Gary Lucas, Bob and Curtis Stewart.
