Tickets on sale for jazz quartet performance

Tickets on sale for show at Lied Center this weekend

Tickets remain on sale for “Tree of Life ­­— Origins and Evolution,” a Creative Campus performance featuring students and faculty from theatre, music and dance. The performance also features the music of the Turtle Island String Quartet, a Grammy-award winning jazz string quartet.

The Lied-Center commissioned performances take place at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Lied Center.

“Tree of Life” is the culmination of a two-year Creative Campus project that focuses on combining science, humanities and performing arts.

“It’s not a scientific lecture,” Karen Christilles, Lied Center associate director, said. “It’s an artwork that has a great deal of beauty and just as equal amount of humor.”

Tickets are $24 for the public and $12 for students. Students can purchase tickets for $5 with a special University Daily Kansan coupon. Tickets can be purchased at the Lied Center, University Theatre, SUA ticket offices or at www.lied.ku.edu.
