Performances and readings from Craig Shepard's Zu Fuss
Sandra Schimag, speaker - Antoine Beuger, flute - Jürg Frey, clarinet - Marcus Kaiser, cello - Tobias Liebezeit, percussion
In the 2005 sound project On Foot, Craig Shepard walked 250 miles across Switzerland. Every day he composed a new piece, wrote it down and performed it on the pocket trumpet at 6 p.m. All concerts took place out-of-doors in public spaces such as squares, harbors, intersections, sidewalks, and mountain-tops. The performance features pieces and readings from the book.

Let me know if I've missed something, and I'm likely to add it to the list. I've only included events between now and the end of February. I know I already missed some great things that happened in the last few days. And there is more on the radar for March. But the line has to be drawn somewhere.
