Tree of Life

The Tree of Life performances features the contributions of several
academic departments at KU including the Center for Science Education,
The Commons, Hall Center for the Humanities, Kansas Space Grant
Consortium, the Department of Music and Dance, the Department of Theatre
and Film, the Lied Center and a number of resident and touring artists,
including the commissioned involvement of two-time Grammy-winning David
Balakrishnan, founder of the Turtle Island Quartet. Having commissioned
a previous work from Balakrishnan — one which he went on to win his
first Grammy Award for — the Lied Center has been eager to involve
Balakrishnan again in this momentous and critical work.
