Spin: Laurie Anderson with Eyvind Kang & Martha Mooke

Three of the most visionary string players of our time share a stage at Big Ears. Laurie Anderson, Eyvind Kang, and Martha Mooke — each a boundary-pushing artist who has redefined what the violin and viola can do — first united in Reykjavik, and now bring that rare collaborative electricity to Knoxville. Anderson, a towering figure in avant-garde performance and storytelling; Kang, whose work spans ancient tunings, film scores, and free improvisation; and Mooke, a trailblazing electric violist who has collaborated with everyone from Philip Glass to David Bowie — together, these three artists represent something truly singular. Don’t miss this once-in-a-festival gathering of kindred spirits.
