Music: Wu Man and CrossSound


Out North's 25 year history has brought art on the cutting edge of all genres, from all corners of the earth to Anchorage. Juneau's CrossSound Festival 2010, featuring WU Man, pushes our boundaries even further.
"WU Man is one of the most amazing performers alive. Yo Yo Ma, the Kronos Quartet and Philip Glass, among many others, have worked with her. Besides being the Jimi Hendrix of the pipa, she has revitalized worldwide and popular interest in this Chinese cross between a lute and a mandolin." - Progressive Alaska Blog
In partnership with United States Artists and KNBA, Out North offers you Eastern, Western, and traditional Alaska Native instrument sounds that collide in a star-studded musical supernova. Music lovers looking for a new kind of excellence in sound,
do not miss this concert.
The Oort Cloud featuring Wu Man | Weds., June 30 | 7:15pm | Tickets $20-15 |
