Beck’s Song Reader—featuring 150 performers in music, dance and performance art<\/em>

Back in December, Beck<\/a> released his album Song Reader<\/a> the way music was traditionally released—as sheet music, to be interpreted by those inspired to do so. This custom songbook contains 20 songs and over 100 pages of original art. It’s both a vintage and revolutionary idea, and was eight years in the making. A web site was set up where musicians (and budding musicians) could upload their renditions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n


<\/p>\n

Inspired by this creative effort, 150 local performers (yes, that’s one hundred and fifty<\/em>) have joined together to present their versions of songs from this album, ina live performance at Somerville Theatre in Davis Square on Thursday night. As stated in their press release, “On Thursday, February 28th Boston’s finest musicians & dancers are collaborating to bring Beck Hansen’s album “Song Reader” to life with live music & original choreography at the historic Somerville Theatre. Months in the making, this evening will feature over 150 musicians, dancers, performance artists and a choir performing new material based of Beck’s latest work. Don’t miss this ONE NIGHT ONLY show!”<\/p>\n
