SUMMARY:Smithsonian Associates: Art Meets Music - A Duet of Visual Artists and Composers\, Lecture 4 - The Artist as Musician\, the Composer as Model
DESCRIPTION:https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/programs/art-meets-music\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Music and the visual arts have always walked hand in hand. For millennia\, artists have obsessed about how to represent music’s invisible beauty\, just as composers have sought to render art’s vibrant colors in pure sound. \nPopular speaker and concert pianist Rachel Franklin leads a fascinating exploration into the intimate relationship between the visible and invisible arts and how music can literally bind the arts together. \n——————————————————————————————————————————————— \nMany great artists were also musicians. Ingres\, Delacroix\, Klee\, and Matisse\, all were passionate instrumentalists. How did their deep friendships with composers and constant musical immersion shape their art? Franklin delves into the meaning behind some famous portraits of Chopin and Paganini and considers how Matisse and Klee expressed the essential presence of music in their own lives. \nBritish-born Franklin has been a featured speaker for organizations including the Library of Congress and NPR\, exploring intersections among classical and jazz music\, film scores\, and the fine arts.

SUMMARY:Smithsonian Associates: The Exquisite Enigma of Maurice Ravel\, Lecture 1 - "I am neither a romantic nor a classic. I am myself."
DESCRIPTION:https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/programs/maurice-ravel\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				“Music should be the beautiful\, fragile wing of the soul. It should enchant\, caress\, and disturb.”  —Maurice Ravel \nThe music of Ravel brings a unique form of magnetism\, delicacy\, passion\, and a frisson of disquiet to our concert experience. Beneath his shimmering sound canvases lie an extraordinary craft and fanatical precision that underpins every silken phrase and melody. Concert pianist and speaker Rachel Franklin celebrates Ravel’s 150th birthday by exploring a wide range of his works from such greatly loved masterpieces as Daphnis et Chloé and La Valse to solo display works like Tzigane that dazzle with their beauty and technical brilliance. \nBritish-born Franklin has been a featured speaker for organizations including the Library of Congress and NPR\, exploring intersections among classical and jazz music\, film scores\, and the fine arts. \n——————————————————————————————————————————————— \nIn the years before World War I Ravel carved out a highly distinctive path for himself as a young innovator\, creating ravishing sonic worlds that both seduced and confused his listeners. Selections include his ballet Daphnis et Chloé\, piano works Jeux d’Eau and Gaspard de la Nuit\, and his String Quartet in F.

SUMMARY:Smithsonian Associates: The Exquisite Enigma of Maurice Ravel\, Lecture 2 - "I never look back. I do not want to repeat myself."

Whatever style he chose to explore\, his music remained utterly individual\, both intensely sophisticated and profoundly moving. Listen to selections from his opera L’enfant et les sortilèges\, piano concertos for one and both hands\, and works that directly reflect the tragic war years\, Le Tombeau de Couperin and La Valse.
