Now in its ninth year, Darmstadt's annual birthday concert has become a time-honored tradition. Terry Riley's 1964 masterwork is performed by new music legends including Joan La Barbara, Matana Roberts, Elliott Sharp, Joshua Rubin, Conrad Harris, Pauline Kim Harris, and members of So Percussion and Iktus percussion.
Elliott Sharp plays a set of his signature solo guitar improvisations, an evening that includes sets by the arresting percussionist Eli Keszler, and the Mauritanian duo Noura Mint Seymali & Jeiche Ould Chighaly, whose songs address the political cultural spectrum of contemporary urban Africa.
