Music + Art
Description:
The intermingling of various forms of art has long been an
interest of Ms. Choi. How do the different mediums interact
and influence each other? Both the pieces of music on this
program were chosen because of their highly evocative nature.
The impressionistic Debussy Sonata is full of tone painting,
changing textures and colors. Piazzolla's programmatic L'Histoire
du Tango has an added element of alluding to the evolution
of a dance genre.
In this art + music experiment, we will explore how these two
pieces of music might spawn works of visual art and how the
resulting paintings might then inform the performance, and
perhaps even the hearing of the music by the audience.
The project will unfold in 4 stages:
1. Musicians rehearse and record, the painter will attend some
rehearsals and be given the resulting recording.
2. The painter will go into the studio and work, listening
to the music as he sees fit.
3. The resulting painting/paintings are shown to the musicians
and discussed.
4. Concert and art viewing.
