CORVALLIS, Ore. – A giant motorized Hurdy-gurdy, a deconstructed pipe organ and an array of spinning and thrashing metal are just some of the innovative machines that will fill the LaSells Stewart Center stage at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 18, in the next installment of the College of Liberal Arts’ School of Arts and Communication’s “SAC Presents” series.
Created by a multi-disciplinary team, “Schick Machine” features percussionist Steven Schick exploring a stage filled with large-scale invented instruments, sometimes playing several simultaneously, drawing listeners into a space of seemingly infinite creative potential. Makers, musicians, design enthusiasts and science buffs alike will enjoy the group’s aural and visual surprises, quickly relinquishing any preconception about what an instrument should look like or what sounds it can make.
Tickets are $30-$35 in advance or $35-$40 at the door. OSU student tickets are $10 each (one per student) with ID card in advance or at the door while seats last. Youth ages 17 and under may purchase tickets for $10 with at least one paid adult admission. All seats are reserved. The LaSells Stewart Center is located at 875 S.W. 26th St.
To purchase tickets in person, go to Fairbanks Hall room 309A or 309B between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday (winter break and holidays may affect these hours).
