John Zorn curated events in Ljubljana: The Stone Series at Cankarjev dom

Cankarjev dom and Jazz Festival Ljubljana have started a new concert series this September. Within the already well esthablished series Cankarjevi torki dedicated mostly to jazz, free jazz and free improvisation there is now a subseries called The Stone Series, curated by the one and only John Zorn and his music, which will be performed by many groups and artists affiliated with him in recent years. The name of the series refers to his well-known concert venue The Stone in Greenwich Village in NYC, which has now relocated to The New School Glass Box Theater. The series is also possible because of the joint effort of members of the network of European promoters Independent Touring Network.

The event series is starting on 4 September with Mary Halvorson Quartet playing The Book Of Angels, continues with Brian Marsella Trio playing selections of pieces from Book Of Masada on 16 October, and Secret Chiefs 3 is playing The Book Of Angels and The Book Beriah on 6 November. In December we can listen to the French rock group AutorYno, and early next year we will see an audiovisual solo performance of the legendary Ikue Mori, a solo piano concert by Uri Caine, and a vocals-bass saz duo with Sofia Rei and JC Maillard.
