Violinist Laura Ortman To Perform At The Aldrich In Ridgefield

**News Release Submitted by The Aldrich Contemporary Museum**

Musician, composer, and collaborator Laura Ortman (White Mountain Apache) will perform Transonic Homes, a solo violin performance in the Museum’s Sculpture Garden (weather permitting). Ortman has performed at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Venice Biennale, among other venues.

Visit our galleries before the performance. The Museum will have extended hours from 12 noon to 7 pm.

Ortman describes the performance, “from the rosined-out beast of tough stained violin emerges deranged crumpled wings twirling in starlight and oil slickness and shininess; bearing heavy use of amplification and effects, she also incorporates over-rosining to add smoke, dust, wind and slow-motion grittiness in her scored / improvised compositions for amplified violin, Apache violin, whistles, tree branches, slides, guitar picks, bells, field recordings, and tuning fork.”
