The University of Dayton Arts Series always brings unique and engaging arts performers to campus, and Guy Livingston is certainly no exception. This American-born pianist from Paris will be shaking up any traditional ideas you might have about attending a piano performance. His concert scheduled for Wednesday October 14th, “One Minute More,” is ideal for music lovers with short attention spans. Livingston will perform a collection of contemporary works that are just one minute in length, accompanied by video projection. Where else can you hear new music from 60 different composers in one short hour? Visit his website at http://www.guylivingston.com for sample clips (and be sure to check out the world’s shortest opera).
Livingston is also one of the foremost experts on radical composer and pianist George Antheil, a self-declared “Bad Boy of Music” who led a musical revolution in 1920’s Paris. During his visit to UD, Livingston will lecture on Antheil’s Ballet Mécanique and the collaboration between musicians and artists that occurred during this influential time period. In preparation for Livingston’s visit, the UD Arts Series will also be hosting a free screening of Bad Boy Made Good, a documentary film about Antheil’s tumultuous life and work.
