SUMMARY:POSTPONED The Cutaway Acoustic Guitar Series: Pierre Bensusan
DESCRIPTION:This event is postponed until further notice. \nCrosstown Arts presents The Cutaway Acoustic Guitar Series\, a monthly concert series showcasing internationally acclaimed guitarists in partnership with the Little Rock-based Argenta Acoustic Music Series. July’s performance features guitarist Pierre Bensusan in an intimate\, solo performance. \nTickets: $20\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \n“The way the guitar would want to sound if it played itself.” \n“Bensusan is very much his own animal. It’s like listening to a butterfly\, to dappled sunshine coming through quaking aspens. His music flits and darts around like fish in a pool. And his compositions manage to encompass both the calmness of the pool and the flashing of the fish. It’s an entrancing\, almost hypnotic thing to watch and hear\, as he seems eager to share his journey\, his light. I was struck by how the aim of each song was to be beautiful. Not witty\, not avant-garde\, not new\, necessarily\, but beautiful. A great craftsman plying his trade. A shepherd with his flock. As I left\, I felt all of a sudden that I’d been to temple after all. My own sort of temple\, and by the end of the service I felt purified\, cleansed\, and ready for the new year.” — Nyack News and Views (USA\, Dan Cohen\, Oct 4\, 2015) \nWinner of the Independent Music Award\, in the Live Performance Album category for his latest triple live album “Encore” (2014)\, “Rose d’Or” of the Montreux Festival for his first album\, “Près de Paris” (Switzerland\, 1976)\, “Best World Music Guitar Player ” by the readers of Guitar Player Magazine (USA\, 2008)\, Pierre Bensusan is recognized as one of the premier musicians of our time. \nIf “World Music” is music that pays tribute to the spirit of a collection of human beings through distinct rhythms\, traditional instruments\, and harmonic colors\, French-Algerian guitarist\, singer\, and composer Pierre Bensusan can be recognized as one of the most eloquent and world musicians today. \nBorn in Oran\, French-Algeria in 1957\, when France was decolonizing its Empire\, Pierre Bensusan’s family moved to Paris when he was four. He began formal studies on piano at the age of 7\, and\, at 11\, taught himself guitar. Influenced in those early days by the folk revival blooming in Britain\, France\, and North America\, Bensusan began first to explore his own diverse musical heritage and then moved to the horizons beyond. \nAt 17\, he signed his first recording contract\, and one year later\, his first album “Pres de Paris” won the Grand Prix du Disque upon his debut at the Montreux Festival in Switzerland. \nDescribed by the L.A. Times as “one of the most unique and brilliant acoustic guitar veterans in the world music scene today\,” Pierre’s name became synonymous with contemporary acoustic guitar genius\, long before the terms New Age\, New Acoustic Music\, or World Music were invented. He has the ability to make a single guitar sound like an entire band as he brings the audience on a mesmerizing musical journey. And yet\, Bensusan is more than what any musician or music lover expects from a guitarist. He is a composer as well as a bilingual and a brave improvisational vocalist\, melding whistles and resonant low notes with something like his own scat technique. \nThere is a sense of something both playful and serious in his work\, an unparalleled sense of freedom in his compositions and his improvisations. His “manner” of playing defies classification – crossing world\, classical\, jazz\, traditional\, folk and more. None can be isolated as simply “Brazilian”\, “Arabic” or “French”; rather\, they represent our world in its current state\, a world sharing itself\, fusing cultures together in ways we have never experienced. A great ambassador of peace. Not to be missed!

SUMMARY:CANCELLED Kraftwerk 3-D at Crosstown Theater
DESCRIPTION:This tour has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. \nElectro pioneers Kraftwerk are bringing their 50th anniversary tour to the Kemmons Wilson Family Stage at Crosstown Theater. The performance will benefit Crosstown Arts\, which celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2020. \nSOLD OUT\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 8 pm \nKraftwerk celebrate 50th anniversary with a North American tour. Bringing together music and performance art\, Kraftwerk 3-D concerts are a true “Gesamtkunstwerk” – a total work of art. \nThe multi-media project Kraftwerk was started in 1970 by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider. They set up their electronic Kling Klang Studio in Düsseldorf\, Germany\, where they conceived and produced all Kraftwerk albums. \nBy the mid 1970s\, Kraftwerk had achieved international recognition for their revolutionary electronic sound scapes and their musical experimentation with robotics and other technical innovations. With their visions of the future\, Kraftwerk created the soundtrack for the digital age of the 21st century. \nTheir compositions\, using innovative techniques\, synthetic voices\, and computerized rhythms\, have had a major international influence across an entire range of musical genres: from Electro to Hip Hop\, from Techno to SynthPop. \nIn their live performances\, Kraftwerk — Ralf Hütter\, Henning Schmitz\, Fritz Hilpert\, Falk Grieffenhagen — illustrate their belief in the respective contributions of both man and machine. \nStarting with the retrospective of their catalogue at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2012\, Kraftwerk have returned full circle back to their origins within the Düsseldorf art scene of the late Sixties. \nThe 3-D concert series at MoMA was followed by further presentations at Tate Modern Turbine Hall (London)\, Akasaka Blitz (Tokyo) Opera House (Sydney)\, Walt Disney Concert Hall (Los Angeles)\, Fondation Louis Vuitton (Paris)\, Neue National Galerie (Berlin)\, and Guggenheim Museum (Bilbao). \nIn 2014\, Ralf Hütter and his former partner were honored with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
