KU and the Lied Center’s performance partners gather to plan the theatre’s
2009 Tree of Life – Origin and Evolution. Partners include: Hall Center for
the Humanities, The Commons, University Theatre, University Dance
Company, Kansas Space Grant Consortium, Center for Science Education,
Departments of Music & Dance and Theatre & Film.
Tree of Life is a unique and distinct evening of music, dance and theatre next April 24-25. It is the culmination of a two-year collaboration of the Creative Campus Project involving several academic departments at KU and a number of resident and touring artists including the commissioned involvement of two-time Grammy Award-winner David Balakrishnan, founder of the Turtle Island String Quartet. This project is made possible in part by a grant from the Association of Performing Arts Presenters Creative Campus Innovations Grant Program, a component of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
“The Lied Center is delighted to be presenting Tree of Life next spring,” said Lied Center Executive Director, Tim Van Leer. “We’re also thrilled to have planted these oak trees. It’s a great way to celebrate this exciting show next year and at the same time, give an important gift for generations to come.”
