Spring 2020 Artists-in-Residence

Nick Cave, Kenneth Collins, and the Arditti Quartet.

Upcoming Events

3/23/20

We have been closely monitoring how current health and travel issues are evolving with regard to the Coronavirus (COVID-19). After consultation with University at Buffalo leadership and a great deal of deliberation, our proactive feeling is that the best thing we can do for our community is to limit non-essential large gatherings. As such, the UB Humanities Institute is postponing An Evening with Nick Cave (March 27) and Performance, Publics, Possibilty (a one-day symposium scheduled for March 28), with the hope of rescheduling in Spring 2021.

As such, the April 2020 artist residency of the Arditti Quartet is being postponed. If conditions permit, the performances scheduled for April 2020 will be included in the quartet's June 2020 residency. Otherwise, they will be rescheduled, hopefully for Fall 2020.
