Stephen F. Austin State University will host a live
broadcast featuring multi-platinum, Grammy-award winning singer-songwriter
Sarah McLachlan performing her beautifully crafted songs for Yamaha Disklavier
RemoteLive viewers from her studio in Vancouver, Canada, at 6 p.m. Saturday,
Sept. 29, in the Music Recital Hall on the SFA campus.
"Through the technology of RemoteLive, audience members can view the live
video and audio of McLachlan in perfect synchronization with every keystroke on
the Yamaha Disklavier Player Piano as if she was playing the piano in person in
Nacogdoches," according to Mario Ajero, associate professor of piano at SFA.
Much of this technology was made possible through successful beta tests
Ajero conducted last spring.
The event is free to the public, but seating will be limited. The 6 p.m.
broadcast will be preceded by a lecture at 5:30 p.m. in which Ajero will
explain the technology that makes it possible for the artist to "play the piano
for a live audience over 2,000 miles away," he said.
The Music Recital Hall is located in the Tom and Peggy Wright Music
Building, 2210 Alumni Drive.
