Stanford Lively Arts presents
[ 2010/2011 Season Events ]:
Memory Forward is the overarching theme for our 2010–11 season, which will be tethered to multidisciplinary, campus-wide Arts Initiative programming. Our take on this theme is, as ever, inspired and defined in Technicolor detail by our visiting artists and campus collaborators. In this regard, we noted quite an intriguing early magnetic pull by artists with whom we were already in dialogue about next season—many sought to contextualize within their own current work, memories of earlier experiences, and important personal or cultural history, bringing past to present and background to foreground: memory, forward.
Among our signature Memory Forward events are Awakenings, our opening concert with the Kronos Quartet and Cantabile Youth Singers; new works by Trimpin and Louis Andriessen/Bang on a Can; Steve Mackey/Rinde Eckert with eighth blackbird in Slide; Memory Slips by Jonathan Berger for Trio Voce; Word for Word’s staging of stories from Elizabeth Strout’s Olive Kitteridge; Berry Sakharof’s Red Lips; and performances by Butoh dance company Sankai Juku, Rennie Harris Puremovement hip-hop company, and Gamelan Cudamani.
And for the rest of the season, a brief glance. Commissioning and the presentation of new work continue to be important priorities and the 2010–11 season is bristling with chamber music, including string quartets from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Norway, many of whom will bring new works. Our Sundays with the St. Lawrence series includes a Lively Arts–commissioned work by Osvaldo Golijov. Recitals take a decidedly varied spin with the remarkable Midori and Emanuel Ax followed by a song recital with the San Francisco Opera’s Adler Fellows.

Bing Concert Hall, Stanford University
[ Opening in 2013 ]:
The Bing Concert Hall at Stanford will play a vital role on campus and in the local community. The hall’s exceptional acoustics and state-of-the-art technical capabilities will showcase the world’s finest performers, provide audiences with a superb listening experience, and lift students’ artistic aspirations and abilities to new heights.
The hall is an important part of the Stanford Arts Initiative, a university-wide effort to promote the integration of the arts and creativity into every field of study. The project reinforces Stanford’s broad investments in music, drama, dance, the visual arts, film, and creative writing.
The name of the hall reflects Stanford’s gratitude and deep affection for Helen and Peter Bing, ’55, for their generous support of this far-reaching project.
