Laurie Anderson Begin Barbican Residency, Appears on BBC Radio

Laurie Anderson kicks off her four-night residency at the Barbican Theatre in London tonight. The shows are part of the Barbican's bite08 festival of music, dance, and visual art taking place over the next month, as well as the Spring 08 Contemporary Events series, which also includes a sold-out performance by Toumani Diabate at the LSO St. Luke's this Friday and the UK premiere of Philip Glass's Waiting for the Barbarians in June.

Before tonight's show at the Barbican, Laurie will stop by the BBC studios for an appearance on the Nemone radio show, which begins 1 PM GMT on BBC Radio 6 Music. To listen live online, visit bbc.co.uk. You can also listen again to the show online for the following week.
