Impressionism in Music, Art and Literature

Join us for this special event with Caryn Block, DMA., who will present a live performance and discussion of the Impressionist period composers for the flute, their lasting contributions as well as twentieth century contemporary works for solo flute influenced by this school. Through viewing art prints and listening to live flute performance of  such works as Debussy's "Syrinx" based on the  myth of Pan, Honegger's "Danse de la Chèvre",  Jacque Ibert’s “Pièce” and two works by Caryn Block, "Dream"  based on a Greek myth as depicted in a poem by Edith Wharton and "Garden Music" based on paintings by Robert Zakanitch, along with short impressionist works for the piano, a portrait of impressionism in art and music will be painted for the audience.
