For one night only, don’t miss the Pittsburgh debut of legendary drummer Tony Allen and his Afrobeat Orchestra at the opulent Carnegie Music Hall. Considered by Brian Eno to be “perhaps the greatest drummer who has ever lived,” Allen is most known as the drummer and musical director of Fela Kuti’s band Africa 70 in Nigeria from 1968 to 1979. He and Kuti are attributed with creating Afrobeat, the hard-driving, funk-infused, and politically engaged style that has seen a resurgence in recent years, culminating in last year’s Broadway hit musical Fela! Currently on the World Circuit/Nonesuch record label, Allen continues to attract a broad fan base due to varied projects including the Good, the Bad & the Queen collaboration with Damon Albarn (formerly of Blur and currently with Gorillaz). His current touring band features Detroit-based soul-funk musician Amp Fiddler.
This event is co-presented by Carnegie Museum of Art, The Andy Warhol Museum, Afrika Yetu, and WYEP 91.3FM

Artist and musician Ragnar Kjartansson, whose work is presented in Carnegie Museum of Art’s Ragnar Kjartansson: Song exhibition, presents an intimate vaudeville-style show with family and friends. Though this group performs together on Sunday evenings at Ragnar’s mother’s home in Reykjavik, this unique performance marks the group’s first public appearance.
Band members include Davíð Þór Jónsson, an accomplished multi-instrumentalist and composer, and Kjartansson’s nieces, taking a break from their ongoing Hall of Sculpture performance. Video artist Ásdís Sif Gunnarsdóttir has written a melodramatic play to accompany the performance.
This performance is co-presented by Carnegie Museum of Art and The Andy Warhol Museum.

Carnegie Museum of Art, as part of a new collaboration with The Andy Warhol Museum, presents a performance by Third Coast Percussion in the Carnegie Lecture Hall. Praised by Time Out Chicago for “chops, polish, and youthful joy in performing,” Third Coast Percussion uses an impressive array of percussion instruments to create a performance experience like no other. With exceptional talent and dedicated artistry, this “sonically spectacular” (Chicago Tribune) quartet combines the driving intensity of drums, the beautiful warmth of marimbas and vibraphones, and the surprisingly exotic sounds of everyday objects to make music that is playful, memorable and profound.
Passionately dedicated to modern music, Third Coast has commissioned, premiered, and performed pieces by many of today’s preeminent up-and-coming composers, programming them alongside 20th century masterpieces for percussion.
This event is co-presented by Carnegie Museum of Art, The Andy Warhol Museum, and the Music on the Edge series of the University of Pittsburgh Department of Music.

Carnegie Museum of Art, as part of a new collaboration with The Andy Warhol Museum, presents a performance by Dean & Britta in the Carnegie Lecture Hall. While Dean & Britta have been touring nationally and internationally for the past two years with 13 Most Beautiful: Songs for Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests (a project commissioned by The Warhol and The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust), Dean also decided to delve into the back catalog of his seminal first band, Galaxie 500, to develop a full set that has been played at just a handful of venues thus far in the U.S. to rave reviews. The dynamic power-pop trio, Meeting of Important People, open with an acoustic set of new material.
This event is co-presented by Carnegie Museum of Art, The Andy Warhol Museum, and WYEP Presents.
