A Special Interview/Performance FREE EVENT!!
French bassist, composer, and improviser Joëlle Léandre talks like she plays: with
full-on intensity, using the whole range of her voice, offering idea after idea, drawing
unusual connections, demanding your attention. She pays no mind to musical
boundaries. Liberty is her hallmark. As she says in her book Solo, “the object of art
is to subvert, to overwhelm, to move to reflection. It’s a celebration of life. The artist
is subversive, disturbing.” — Whitney Curry Wimbish, BOMB magazine
