Lukas Ligeti, Pittsburgh Center for the Arts Opening
A quick reminder about tonight’s concert by Lukas Ligeti with his spastic art-jazz-rock trio HYPERCOLOR on Wednesday, September 23 at Garfield Artworks, 4931 Penn Ave. Doors are at 8 pm and admission is $7. For all the details, see Manny’s post below.
And though it’s a secondary part of the festivities, a short documentary I scored will premiere during Pittsburgh Center for the Arts’ opening for Tim Kaulen, their new Artist of the Year. The film is Virgil Cantini: the Artist in Public by Will Zavala of Pittsburgh Filmmakers. It examines the work of Virgil Cantini, founder of Pitt’s Department of Studio Arts and prolific creator of public art. You’ve seen Canitini’s sculptures if you’ve spent any time in Pittsburgh, even though you might not have known whose they were. The film will loop, along with three other documentaries, in the video room at PCA. The opening takes place at Pittsburgh Center for the Arts on Friday, September 25 from 5:30–8 p.m. There’s a suggested donation of $5 and PCA members get in free. So come to the PCA opening and check out the documentaries as well.
