| 8/15/2008 | Wowee Zowee: 800 Years of Minimalism at Lincoln Center highlighting spiritual minimalist music from eight centuries of human experience, in a program exploring the transcendental and ecstatic dimension of music-making. Opening with the debut performance of Beata Viscera, an early-music vocal group, in a selection of works by the 13th-century French medieval composer Pérotin, who pioneered the three- and four-part style that came to be called organum—the earliest type of polyphonic music. Following the Pérotin selections, Rhys Chatham and section leadersJohn King, Ned Sublette, David Daniell, and Seth Olinsky (Akron/Family) will lead an oversized orchestra of 200 volunteer guitarists in the world premiere of A Crimson Grail (Outdoor Version), a Lincoln Center Out of Doors commission. Reflecting Chatham's interest in polyphonic and antiphonal music, A CrimsonGrail's players will be conducted in four sections of 50 guitarists each, and will perform not on the bandshell stage but along the sides of the audience at Damrosch Park, to heighten the work's polyphonic effect. Concluding the show will be the U.S. premiere of Manuel Göttsching's hour-long electronic composition E2-E4. Widely acknowledged by producers and DJs the world over as the starting point for much early house music and experimental techno, E2-E4 builds from calm and quiet to multiple layers of texture and repetition, culminating in an ecstatic groove that, years later, would eventually come to be called techno. Collaborating with Gottsching for the first-ever U.S. live performance of E2-E4 will be visual artist Joshua White (The Joshua Light Show), who will create a live visual projection designed specially for E2-E4 to be projected on the surface of the Damrosch Bandshell, involving the "liquid light" techniques developed at Bill Graham's Fillmore East during the late 1960s. |

| 8/16/2008 | "Patti Smith: Dream of Life" (documentary directed by Steven Sebring). Showtimes: 1:00, 3:15, 5:40, 7:50, 10:00. Aug 6 - Aug 19. PEOPLE ASK HER “HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE A ROCK ICON?” a lyrical, stream-of-consciousness approach that is exactly right in his affecting portrait of the “rock ’n’ roll Joan of Arc” who can bring a crowd of devotees to their feet chanting “Glor-i-a!” as effectively as she can share her pain over the early death of her husband, Fred (Sonic) Smith and her brother, and the loss of her close friend Robert Mapplethorpe and of other artists she admires (Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, William S. Burroughs). Everyone knows that Patti Smith’s music, poetry and politics are fearless, funny, raw and original. But this film also captures her physical presence – her gamine beauty – and a charming, self-effacing style that will take you by surprise and leave you deeply moved.
