About this Event

Please join Executive Director and Art Historian Preston Metcalf as he takes you on a journey of sight and sound. Over four weeks, Preston will share examples of music from different eras, alongside the art of those times, illustrating how both musicians and visual artists were expressing the same evolving ideas and understandings of their world, using two different vocabularies.
