Maya Beiser in the Huffington Post, Returns to UCLA Live

Maya Beiser on bernsarts.com

The Huffington Post’s David J. Kushner just sat down with Maya Beiser to talk about musical Cubism, her best-selling project Provenance, and the creative performer. Kushner writes:

“There is no doubt that cellist Maya Beiser is a dynamic performer. But her command is not limited to conventional concert stages. Video of her recent TED Talks presentation has garnered over 296,000 views online, no small feat for a performance of contemporary classical music. This seems right in line with the musician’s career as a whole, which seems predicated on presenting music as the ultimate unifying experience.” [David J. Kushner for the Huffington Post]

On November 11, Beiser will make her return to UCLA Live to perform selections from Provenance in a shared evening with percussionist Evelyn Glennie.  The two will also premiere Stuttered Chant, a new work written specifically for them by Pulitzer Prize winner David Lang.
