NatPhil: Music That Inspires- Free Streamed Concert at Strathmore

What is art, and how does it come into being? How is all art connected, and what does it have to do with being intrinsically human? In this concert, the compositions speak to the interconnectedness of visual and aural art, and how the two often combine to create something more than the sum of their parts. Composer Barbara York finds inspiration from the paintings of Grant Wood. Saint-Sanss Danse Macabre takes its origin from illustrated sermon texts. It is hoped that this performance will lead audience members to new acts of artistry, whatever form that may take, because there is art in everything.Laura Colgate, violinElizabeth Hill, pianoWillie Clark, tubaCheryl Hill, clarinetRobert Schumann, Fantasiestcke for clarinet and piano Zart und mit AusdruckLebhaft, leicht Rasch und mit Feuer Camille Saint-Saens, Danse Macabre, Op. 40Barbara York, Four Paintings by Grant WoodStone City, Iowa Young CornAmerican Gothic Parson Weem's FableFlorence Price, Adoration arranged by Elaine Fine for violin and piano
