By -
Charles Gaines, Liudni Slibinai
Thursday, November 7, 7pm
Liudni Slibinai (which translates to sad, three-headed dragon) makes playful pop-music that borrows from Lithuanian folk tunes and is animated through musical theater techniques. The multi-talented group, which collaborated with My Barbarian for the 2009 Baltic Triennial, will join Courtesy the Artists while visiting NYC on their first US tour. Opening the evening will be artist Charles Gaines, father and father-in-law to Courtesy the Artists, who is known for his conceptual and systematic works that sometimes refer to musical forms. Trained in jazz performance, Gaines will play a short piano set using a traditional song as a starting point for exploration.
