Guest artists are all over campus this spring. Indie rock band Glass Animals play Stanford Stadium; the open-air literary celebration Stories of Exile, Reckoning and Hope takes place on the main stage in White Plaza; Mina Morita directs Bertolt Brecht’s The Good Person of Szechwan in Roble Studio Theater; and Stanford Live’s popular Cabaret series continues in Bing’s cozy underground studio with music from the world of James Bond, an evening of traditional and revolutionary Chilean songs, and an appearance by Uriel Herman – a 29-year-old classically trained jazz pianist who’s making the rounds on his debut tour of the United States.

Eclectic offerings include a concert of exotic and lesser-known piping traditions (a.k.a. “the other bagpipes”), a night of Manila disco, and a conversation with the Sultan of Sleaze, the Prince of Puke and the King of Schlock: John Waters.
