Miller Theatre at Columbia University Presents LOU REED: METAL MACHINE MUSIC, 2/5

Miller Theatre at Columbia University presents Lou Reed in Concert on February 5 at 8PM.

Lou Reed's music written for the Velvet Underground propelled him to rock stardom. His Metal Machine Music, a distorted sound wall of guitar feedback, has been called the precursor to punk. Critical rejection at its first release in 1975 led to a cult-like interest. Ulrich Krieger has accomplished a feat once deemed impossible by transcribing and arranging Metal Machine Music for classical instruments.

Columbia University’s Miller Theatre is located north of the Main Campus Gate at 116th St. & Broadway on the ground floor of Dodge Hall.

Tickets range from $7-$25. To purchase tickets and more information, please visit http://www.millertheatre.com/
