Baruch Performing Arts Center 
February 23:
World Premiere: Music Inspired by Art

Pianist Yoonie Han performs the world premiere of Theodore Wiprud's 
Miss Ellen Terry as Lady Macbeth and selections from Enrique Granados' Goyescas.

 In addition to the performances, composer Theodore Wiprud, pianist Yoonie Han, and Baruch College art historian Professor Gail Levin discuss the influence of visual art on music composition 

"What composer Theodore Wiprud does best is capture the soul of 21st-century America."

-Classical Music Sentinal

John Singer Sargent's "Miss Ellen Terry as Lady Macbeth"
. The concert takes place at 7:00 pm at BPAC's Engelman Recital 

The program "Art into Music into Performance" includes Goyescas by composer Enrique Granados, who was famously inspired to transform the paintings of Francisco Goya into this suite for piano. Composer Theodore Wiprud was similarly inspired by the paintings of John Singer Sargent. Wiprud's newest work, Miss Ellen Terry as Lady Macbeth, is the final piece in his trilogy titled Sargent's Women. This concert will feature the first complete performance of Sargent's Women, which will be heard in its entirety for the first time at this performance. Baruch College art historian Professor Gail Levin joins the composer and performer in a discussion about the confluence of art and music. 

Theodore Wiprud remarks on his collaboration with Yoonie Han on this new work, "I began composing my suite Sargent's Women for Yoonie Han exactly because of her affection for Granados' Goyescas, and the entrancing way she plays that work.  To have the premiere of my newly completed suite in a program alongside Goyescas is a dream come true."
Francisco Goya's "The Milkmaid of Bordeaux"
The performance and discussion is on Thursday, February 23 at 7:00 pm at the Baruch Performing Arts Center's Engelman Recital Hall. Tickets range from $15 for students to $35 for general public, and are available at this link.

Another art-and-music event of note is on Tuesday, March 14. The artist Rosalyn Engelman is celebrated with the screening of a documentary film about her life, an on-stage discussion with the artist, and a live performance of nocturnes by Frederick Chopin, Gabriel Faure and Lowell Liebermann.
