Shared Muses: Nature, Music, and Art
This Earth Day, celebrate by exploring elements of nature, music, and painting inspired by the exhibition Monet/Mitchell: Painting the French Landscape. Listen to the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra play classical compositions inspired by the artists’ musical preferences, sign up for a forest immersion walk with Jess Thenhaus of Urban Forest Therapy, learn about Impressionist art with pop-up talks by students from Washington University in St. Louis, or watch the documentary Joan Mitchell: Portrait of an Abstract Painter.
The chamber concert in the Anabeth and John Weil Gallery 251 begins at 3 pm and lasts about 45 minutes. Space is limited and available on a first-come basis.
