Jackson Mac Low: Poem as Score
Russell Lane at Gilman Drive, San Diego, 92037
Cost: Free
Hailed by the LA Times as "entrancing," Southland Ensemble travels to UC San Diego to present the chance poetry of Jackson Mac Low. Mac Low’s dedication to systems of composition -- which included chance, indeterminacy, and simultaneous performance -- allowed him to create works of extreme openness. His poems represent a moment in poetry where truths of authorship were called into question and the very boundaries of music and poetry were pulled taut.
