Dada artist Kurt Schwitters’ classic “Sonata In Primeval Sounds,” also called “Ursonate,” is performed by Ursonate Urchestra with special guest vocalist Bob Holman.

Ursonate Urchestra: Andy Laties, Rebecca Migdal and percussionist Eric Blitz with artists GLOVE, John Landino and Denis Luzuriaga plus special guests including, invented-instrument artists Mitch Ahern and Pronoblem.

“Ursonate” begins at 8pm, and is preceded by a 7pm benefit with sounds by Eric Blitz and GLOVE also with Andy Laties, Denis Luzuriaga, Pronoblem, and others to provide cost of care relief for fallen urtist Valerie Caris Blitz.

Published in 1932, Kurt Schwitters’ Sonata In Primeval Sounds is the granddaddy of sound-art poems: an hourlong nonsense opus that develops 26 abstract themes in classical sonata format. Andy Laties’ rousing participatory interpretations were honored in the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art major retrospective “Art In Chicago 1945-1995″
