Portland Museum of Art at 5:30 PM
7 Congress Square, Portland, ME

Festival Associate Artists from The Juilliard School and Eastman School of Music perform a free concert at PMA as a gift to the City of Portland.

Pairing works by Winslow Homer, Eliot Porter, Renoir, Max Bechmann,  and Maine artist Tim Rollins, the Bach Virtuosi Festival Associate Artists will perform works from Haydn, Paul Hindemith, Joelle Wallach, and Johann Sebastian Bach. The selection of music is based around the museum’s collections of art and personally curated by the BVF Associate Artists.

“Our decision to perform these exquisite musical works is due to the intricacy of the art and how the two relate to each other,” says violinist Bo Pang. “We are moved by the intricacy of works by artists like Max Bechmann, Winslow Homer, and Kawase Hasui. All of us felt a deep connection to how this artwork relates to Haydn, Hindemith, Wallach, and Bach. There is an endurance to these composers and these artists – they work well together and we are honored to tie together both artforms in this multimedia recital.”
