This Guy’s Getting All Avant-Garde Hipster-y With The Renaissance’s Most Genteel Instrument

MUSIC Posted: May 9, 2019 7:34 am

“Although Renaissance and Baroque repertoire remains his lodestar, [Liam] Byrne has taken the music — and audiences — to surprising places. In 2015, he squeezed into the belly of a plaster sculpture in the Victoria and Albert Museum and performed for one person at a time, Marina Abramović-style. Two years later, he participated in a site-specific reworking of Schumann’s song cycle Dichterliebe, holing up in the kitchen of a historic house with the performer Mara Carlyle, who sang and played the musical saw.” – The New York Times
