Mind-bending, category-defying, boundary-pushing, the Liquid Music | Northrop Series promises to expand your idea of how live music flows through genres, dance, film—and beyond. The four events in the series will pair distinctive voices in sublime ways for immersive experiences sure to transcend the norm, enthrall, and inspire.
The University of Minnesota Spotlight Series is a collaborative partnership between the Institute for Advanced Study and Northrop to present lectures, conversations, performances, exhibits, and other events around timely topics of interest throughout the academic year. The six-part 2023–2024 series will focus on racial and social justice. Events may be attended in Northrop’s Best Buy Theater or online via Zoom. Q&A sessions will follow each event.
Immerse yourself in a season that defies expectations. Thrill in the journey from ballet to breaking, from tap and step dancing to modern. Be the first to witness the unveiling of two world premieres—both Northrop Centennial Commissions.
Prepare for a singular cinematic experience. Live music intertwines with mesmerizing visuals as silent films—both new and old—come to life in a series that amplifies the power and artistry of this classic form.
