David Byrne

October 14 at 7:30pm

At Meany Center for the Performing Arts

University of Washington, Seattle

Acclaimed musician, Oscar-winning composer
Parking is confusing; arrive early
No drinks allowed in the Hall

David Byrne untangles why brilliant ideas get ignored, then resurface years later. The Talking Heads legend brings his trademark curiosity to stories of rediscovered geniuses, forgotten inventions, and scientific breakthroughs that almost vanished.
