Chernicoff
On Sunday, October 13 at 3 pm at the Gibbes Museum of Art, violinist Lydia Chernicoff and pianist Ronaldo Rolim will present an unusual afternoon of music in which they'll perform just one piece, Aaron Copland's "Sonata for Violin and Piano," twice—first without offering any information, and then again after an in-depth conversation about the composer, the piece, and the act of performing it.
This program is offered in connection with the Gibbes Museum of Art’s exercise, "Slow Looking," in which visitors are provided with a set of questions that helps them slow down and observe the museum’s collections in greater detail. The guided tour and concert are both designed to show how a little information and some deep attention bring “hidden” aspects of a piece to the surface and increase the pleasure of looking and listening.
"Our ongoing collaboration with New Muse continues to be creative and surprising," says Becca Hiester, Director of Education and Programs at the Gibbes Museum. "Interdisciplinary programs are important to the Gibbes, and it makes perfect sense to pair our practice of slow looking with a deep listening exercise. We're excited to see how this program opens our eyes and ears!"
