SOLO

Carla Kihlstedt appears at The Stone in Manhattan under the bill SOLO, performing alone with voice, violin, and viola. The program is presented as a solo set, with no guests, tribute, release, or other event framing listed. It takes place in The Stone’s simple, glass-walled theatre at The New School, where seating is arranged close to the performers and the setup is devoted to attentive listening. The night’s focus rests on the interplay of Kihlstedt’s three credited means of sound.

Kihlstedt is billed here as a solo performer rather than as part of an ensemble, bringing voice, violin, and viola into the same set. No hometown, recordings, past collaborators, or critical quotations are included with the show information, so the billing leaves the music itself as the clearest introduction. The Stone’s commitment to experimental and avant-garde music, along with its distraction-free presentation, makes this a setting for following the details of a single musician’s performance closely.
