THE RUSH of premieres and commissioned works at Stanford Lively Arts continues in the just-released schedule for the 2010–11 season, Oct. 7–May 14. Among the one-of-a-kind offerings is The Gurs Zyklus, a brand-new commission by Seattle artist Trimpin, a triple-treat sculptor, musician and inventor. Trimpin’s piece, done as a collaboration with vocalist Rinde Eckert, promises to be a full-blown multimedia extravaganza about the World War II internment camp Gurs; it will be based on a school year spent at Stanford’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics, and brings the series to a climax next May.

Other first-time performances include a new joint work by Dutch composer Louis Andriessen and filmmaker Marijke van Warmerdam called Life and presented by the Bang on a Can All Stars (Nov. 5); Israeli rocker Berry Sakharof’s Red Lips (Jan. 29); and a new show by the Butoh dance troupe Sankai Juki (Nov. 9); and Jonathan Berger’s new composition for Trio Voce, Memory Slips (March 4). Other highlights of the year include returning favorites Kronos Quartet (Oct. 13), the St. Lawrence String Quartet (three shows, starting Oct. 24), and a Chanticleer Christmas (Dec. 9). The season begins on Oct. 7 with the annual Daniel Pearl World Music Days Concert. Ticket information is available at 650.725.Arts.
