1969 among 2009's best
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette named our multimedia performance of 1969 at the New Hazlett one of its top-ten performances in 2009. Through music, image, and spoken word, 1969 tells the story of great musicians — Stockhausen, Lennon, McCartney, Berio, and Bernstein — striving for a new world and a new music in the tumultuous months surrounding the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy and the election of Richard Nixon.
