Lecture and Concert: Actions and Reactions: Sounds and Sights of a World Foregone

On the occasion of the Jepson Center’s “Monet to Matisse” exhibition, this concert and lecture will illuminate a series of connections between musical and visual creators during the times of social turmoil in which Claude Monet and Henri Matisse shaped their art. Martín Gendelman will discuss the historical, cultural and biographical backdrop of the selected compositions from late 19th and early 20th-century composers, from Chopin to Gershwin, whose classical compositions Benjamin Warsaw will introduce and perform. Together they will illustrate the mirroring of musical and artistic movements that have influenced our culture for more than a century.
