In the coming weeks, musical performances will be delivered by: Sun Ra Arkestra with Kelsey Lu and Moor Mother; Nicole Mitchell and Angel Bat Dawid; Chimurenga Renaissance and Fatoumata Diawara; the Carl Craig Synthesizer Ensemble and Theo Croker.caught up with opening act Flying Lotus and Carnegie Hall’s esteemed director of festivals and special projects, Adriaan Fuchs just days before showtime.
“[Carnegie Hall] is a different atmosphere for the things I’ve been doing and it’s an opportunity for me to move in a new direction musically that is fitting,” he continues. “I have so much music in my catalog that I couldn’t play at a normal music festival because people want to dance and party. With this, everyone will be sitting down, so it will fall into more of a cerebral experience.”
“It’s gonna be fun… I’m there to explore music and have a good time,” Flying Lotus affirms, also joking, “The only thing that’s kind of tricky is it’s my first timeoutside in a while. I’ve just been hanging out with my dog, so to be thrust in front of a whole bunch of people will be quite a jarring experience. But I’ll get a kick out of it.”
