	Music for Exhibitions: What New Astonishments! States of the Soul in Music of the Late Renaissance and Early Baroque From the reincarnation of the poet as a solo singer by late sixteenth-century Italian composers came a new art in which speaking was done through singing—opera. Words became the mistress of the harmony and music provided the foundation for the narrative. The road on which the music of the individual virtuoso traveled was forever changed from polyphony and counterpoint to homophony and harmony. Take this journey with soprano soloist Katherine Soroka, joined by Chatham Baroque—Scott Pauley (theorbo, lute and baroque guitar), Patricia Halverston (viola da gamba) and Andrew Fouts (baroque violin)—as they perform works by Caccini, Castello, Monteverdi, Strozzi, and Stradella to accompany the exhibition From Michelangelo to Annibale Carracci—A Century of Italian Drawings from the Prado. This is one of three musical programs the Frick will present based on themes from exhibitions at The Frick Art Museum. A number of ticket plans are available. Please call 412-371-0600 for details.

	Music for Exhibitions: Destined for Impressionism: Painting with Music The magnificent landscapes by artists of the Barbizon School in mid-nineteenth-century France led to the development of Impressionism. This fascinating journey and destination in the world of art is explored in the music of such composers as Claude Debussy, Ernest Chausson and Arnold Bax. Join Susan Palma-Nidel (flute), Christof Huebner (viola) and Franziska Hun (harp) as they celebrate with music the achievements of these nineteenth-century French landscape painters. The Walden Chamber Players will perform this concert, which accompanies the exhibition Road to Impressionism—Barbizon Landscapes from the Walters Art Museum. This is one of three musical programs the Frick will present based on themes from exhibitions at The Frick Art Museum. A number of ticket plans are available. Please call 412-371-0600 for details.

	Music for Exhibitions: French Impressionism Meets American Jazz The musical style of nineteenth-century composer Gabriel Fauré influenced many the twentieth-century composers who came after him. Employing a distinctly American musical form to interpret themes from Road to Impressionism—Barbizon Landscapes from the Walters Art Museum, the Chicago-based Jazz Fauré Project will intepret the themes of the Barbizon exhibition with songs of the man regarded as the master of the French art song or mélodie. Members of the Jazz Faure project are Bobby Schiff (piano), Sean Harris and Claudia Hommel (vocals), Jerry DiMuzio (saxophone, clarinet and flute), Tim Davis (drums), and Jim Cox (bass). This is one of three musical programs the Frick will present based on themes from exhibitions at The Frick Art Museum. A number of ticket plans are available. Please call 412-371-0600 for details.
