Live Arts Festival & Philly Fringe - Release: Vijay Iyer on Piano September 11, 2010

Live Arts co-presents a concert by jazz composer and pianist Vijay Iyer where he will play within the art installation 'Release,' for which Iyer composed the music. Curated by Julie Courtney, 'Release' is a collaboration between Iyer and filmmaker Bill Morrison who turned newly found archival footage of the 1930 release of the notorious criminal Al Capone into a 12-minute experimental film. As a separate event, Morrison's film 'Decasia' will be screened at the Penitentiary during the Live Arts Festival.
