Kronos Quartet performs at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco on Oct. 4, 2019. The quartet will play during the 2023-’24 Stanford Live season.

Stanford Live on Friday announced its 2023-’24 season schedule, which will kick off on Sept. 22 and run through May 2024.

It encompasses more than 60 performances in classical and jazz music, theater, dance, film and even puppetry. The organization has given each of its seasons a theme, and the next one has a theme of “reflection and reinvention.”

The performances include local, national and international artists and will be held at Bing Concert Hall, The Studio, Memorial Auditorium and Memorial Church on the Stanford University campus.

Commissioned performances include Akram Khan’s Jungle Book reimagined, on Dec. 2 and 3, a theater production based on Rudyard Kipling’s story with Khan reinventing the journey of Mowgli through the eyes of a climate refugee. San Francisco’s Kronos Quartet will perform the new work Five Decades on Jan. 27. Los Angeles Master Chorale will present Music for a Departure, a meditation on what it means to say goodbye in times of struggle, on April 27. Canadian puppeteer Ronnie Burkett presents Wonderful Joe from May 1 to 4, examining the feelings of isolation and loneliness. Claire Chase and JACK Quartet will premiere a new piece by the minimalist composer Terry Riley on May 8.

NEA Jazz master, educator, composer and author Terri Lyne Carrington on Jan. 25, bassist Linda May Han Oh with her group on Jan. 26 and saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin on Jan. 27. Wild Up: The Music of Julius Eastman, takes place on Feb. 9 and 10. The ensemble contextualizes classical repertoire into the context of pop culture, new music and performance art.

Manuel Cinema’s Frankenstein takes place on Nov. 4 and 5. The Chicago collective combines shadow puppetry, cinematic techniques, sound effects and live music to stitch together the classic tale of Frankenstein with the biography of the original novel’s author, Mary Shelley.

Wu Tsang’s MOBY DICK; or, The Whale, is on Nov. 8 and features filmmaker and visual artist Wu Tsang and the collective Moved by the Motion. It’s a feature-length, silent-film telling of Herman Melville’s novel with original music composed by Caroline Shaw and Andrew Yee with Asma Maroof, performed live by the New Century Chamber Orchestra.

The Sound of (Black) Music, on Feb. 28, showcases American classics reimagined through an Afro-futuristic lens, led by Brianna Thomas, Chareene Wade, Vuyo Sotashe and others. Holiday concerts include Pink Martini’s Storm Large on Dec. 8 and 9 and Davina and the Vagabonds on Dec. 10.
