Not a Sonata #5

Pianist Bruce Odland and cellist Lin Esser return to KinoSaito as part of their continuing Not a Sonata performance series, with collaborator Rinde Eckert.

Not a Sonata #5 performance begins at 3:00PM on Sunday September 22nd. 

Enjoying a long standing collaboration since 1977, artists and multi-instrumentalists Lin Esser and Bruce Odland share an impressive collection of creative experiences. At present they continue to work together on numerous projects; in film, theater, recording, and here again in a live musical performance. Bruce and Lin unveil their latest endeavor as a series of piano and cello recitals the duo call Not a Sonata. Created as real-time spontaneous compositions, the Not a Sonata draws upon Bruce and Lin’s own individual wealth of creative ideas as well as an enduring musical fellowship.

On this special day the duo will also be joined by Rinde Eckert.

Rinde Eckert is a composer, singer, actor and instrumentalist. His career has spanned many different genres from classical music (he has appeared as principal soloist with the New York Philharmonic, and BBC Philharmonic) to performance art, jazz, folk, progressive rock, and theater (his play Orpheus X was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize). He is a Guggenheim fellow in composition, and a recipient of the Doris Duke Performing Artist Award (2012).
