About The Event

We are thrilled to continue our popular Chamber Music in the Galleries concert series. The repertoire performed at each concert is inspired by the art on view in the gallery in which the performance occurs.

Step into an immersive soundscape as the viola takes center stage in a concert that transforms the gallery into a living exhibit. This program explores the instrument’s expressive range through a diverse selection of works—from Telemann’s baroque elegance and Britten’s poignant lyricism to contemporary voices like Aliayta Foon-Dancoes, Reena Esmail, and Darian Donovan Thomas. Each piece highlights a unique facet of the viola’s voice, brought to life by the acoustics of the space, inviting listeners to experience the music as both performance and installation.

This concert is made possible by support from the William O. and Gertrude Lewis Frohring Foundation.
