LunART will present Flower Cycle: Celebrating Spring with Music and Art on Saturday, March 25 at 7 p.m. at the Oakwood Village West Auditorium, 6205 Mineral Point Road, Madison. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Madison audiences will witness the world premiere of a piece written by Brazilian composer Patricia Lopes. The work, “Flower Cycle,” is a collection of musical vignettes each representing a different flower. It features a diverse tonal palette written for nine performers, including strings, winds, harp, and vibraphone. The audience is invited to stay after the performance for a Q&A session with the composer and a reception courtesy of Willy Street Co-Op.
The performance will be accompanied by watercolor paintings created by young artists from Little Picassos, who range in age from 4–12. LunART is committed to offering an educational component, and young art students will have the opportunity to hear and see a variety of instruments up close, exploring color and texture through both music and art during a private pre-concert session presented by LunART artists. A full performance of this work will be presented to the participants and their families on Saturday, April 1 at 1:30 p.m. at Madison Youth Arts Center, 1055 East Mifflin St., with special guests from Music Con Brio youth violin ensemble.
