COME HEAR A WORK OF ART

Sunday | Feb 7, 2021 | 2 pm | Open to public
Claire Fox Hillard
Visual and musical art come together on the weekend of Feb 6-7, 2021 as the Haley Gallery is transformed into a concert venue for the Albany Symphony Orchestra.
The Come Hear a Work of Art! concert will be for AMA and Albany Symphony members only at 5 pm on Saturday, Feb 6. A Sunday matinee at 2 pm on Feb 7 will be open to the public.
An ensemble of string and harp musicians will be under the direction of ASO Conductor and Music Director Claire Fox Hillard, who has selected two compositions inspired by the visual arts to be featured on the program. The first, by French composer Jean Franciax, is titled 15 Portraits of Children, which comprises 15 short movements, each based on a specific portrait by d'Auguste Renoir.
The second, by living American composer TJ Cole, is titled Death of the Poet. The work is inspired by the Conrad Felixmuller painting Death of the Poet Walter Rheiner. Cole is a Philadelphia-based composer from the suburbs of Atlanta whose works may be familiar to regular ASO concertgoers. In 2018, the Albany Symphony performed her work Double Play.
Rounding out the Museum concerts will be several lush Romantic selections for harp and strings, all conducted by Maestro Hillard.
Seating at each concert is limited to 50 people.
COST: $25 per person.
