Some of the most powerful art created in recent years by composers and visual artists reveals a shift away from cool modernism towards a new aesthetic that “puts emotion front and center.” Often, these works are made in response to world events. Da Camera brings together an all-star international group of musicians from Holland, France, New York and Houston to perform music from the U.S., Germany and Russia. Projections of paintings and photographs create a compelling dialogue between music and visual art.
Presented in collaboration with the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts and Blaffer Gallery, in conjunction with Blaffer Gallery’s exhibition Damaged Romanticism, September 13November 15, 2008.
