7:00 pm - Anthony Braxton Sextet Performance
This is one of only two U.S. performances scheduled by Anthony Braxton this year.
The Anthony Braxton Sextet: Anthony Braxton: saxophones, composer; Taylor Ho Bynum: cornet, brass; Tomeka Reid: cello; Dan Peck: tuba; Shelley Burgon and Jacqui Kerrod: harps.
SoundSeen: Remix features John Cage, Anthony Braxton, and Christian Marclay, three diverse artists who explore the concept of the "graphic score" – musical ideas presented through images instead of traditional notation. SoundSeen: Remix is presented in conjunction with SoundSeen, on view at the Hanes Art Gallery through March 26.
This event is free and open to the public. Cash bar and light bites will be provided.

Join us for an artist talk and performance of Christian Marclay's new composition, To Be Continued.
Wednesday, April 12, 2017 @ 5:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. | McChesney Scott Dunn Auditorium
5:30PM - Artist Talk with Christian Marclay
7:00PM - Performance in McChesney Scott Dunn Auditorium
Venice Biennale Gold Lion winner Christian Marclay is familiar to many from his 2010 work The Clock. He was also one of initial "turntablists" in the late 1970s.
Marclay's body of work is multifarious, ranging from sound to video, sculpture and two-dimensional work, but almost all of it is concerned with "seeing" sound and "hearing" images. Almost no culturally inflected "aural" material, from puzzle-cut records, to outrageuosly juxtaposed album covers, altered instruments or onomatopoeic comic book imagery, has escaped his interest.
A group of drawings, made with audio tape and previously unexhibited as a group, will be part of this exhibition. A performance of Marclay's new composition, To Be Continued, will be presented at SECCA on April 12 by ensemBle baBel, with the artist in attendance.
