Nimbus
Performance Installation by The Industry
Concept and Direction by Yuval Sharon
Music and Sound Design by Rand Steiger
Visual Realization by Patrick Shearn
Production Design by Ed Carlson and Danielle Kaufman
Recorded performances by LA Phil musicians —
Martin Chalifour, violin
Robert DeMaine, cello
Marion Arthur Kuszyk, oboe
Boris Allakhverdyan, clarinet
Andrew Bain, horn
Thomas Hooten, trumpet
Kicking off a three-year LA Phil residency for director
Yuval Sharon, Nimbus is an installation that transforms a
transitional space into a performance site. The installation
acts as a timepiece for Walt Disney Concert Hall as Rand
Steiger’s commissioned music changes over the course of
the day, alternating between computer generated musical
atmospheres and compositions built from material
recorded by soloists from the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
These pieces, spatially distributed over 32 speakers,
alternate with periods of silence interrupted by brief
related sounds triggered by motion sensors.

The second National Composers Intensive (NCI) is an

18-30 the opportunity to gather in Los Angeles for an
immersive multi-day workshop and have their works
performed by the modern music collective wild UP. The
NCI concludes with performances of some of the young
composers’ works as part of Noon to Midnight on the

SONGBOOK Walt Disney Concert Hall
Saturday, November 5, 2016, at 8 PM
An Evening with Joan Baez
LA Phil’s Songbook series offers an intimate evening with
legendary folk singer Joan Baez. A musical force of nature
of incalculable influence, Baez marched on the front line
of the civil rights movement with Martin Luther King, Jr.,
inspired Václav Havel in his fight for a Czech Republic,
then 40 years later saluted the Dixie Chicks for protesting
the Iraq war. Her earliest recordings fed traditional
ballads into the rock vernacular before she introduced Bob
Dylan to the world in 1963.
JAZZ -in/SIGHT- Walt Disney Concert Hall
Sunday, November 6, 2016, at 7:30 PM
Kamasi Washington
The Langston Hughes Project
“Ask Your Mama: 12 Moods for Jazz”
Featuring the Ron McCurdy Quartet
Celebrated for such projects as his ambitious 172-minute
masterpiece The Epic, young L.A. jazz giant Kamasi
Washington combines influences like Coltrane along with
soul, classical, hip-hop and gospel for a decidedly
contemporary jazz perspective. Ask Your Mama takes the
audience from gospel, blues and New Orleans to bebop
and beyond with a multimedia performance of Langston
Hughes’ kaleidoscopic 12-part jazz poem about the
struggle for freedom in the early ‘60s.

John Pizzarelli Plays McCartney and the Beatles
Based on a suggestion from Sir Paul McCartney himself,
John Pizzarelli uses his gracefully brilliant vocals and
guitar playing backed by a strong quartet and horns – to
mix McCartney’s singular songs like “My Valentine,”
“Maybe I’m Amazed” and “No More Lonely Nights,” with
classic Beatles songs, all in swinging dimension with
plenty of colorful touches and a playful wink.
