Want to hear music that links to an art exhibit? Pittsburgh Camerata will be doing just that on February 9th!
Artistic Director of the Pittsburgh Camerata, Mark Anderson, spoke about this special program called Portraits that will feature the "Soul's Shot" exhibition. The exhibit, which started in Philadelphia, features paintings, sculptures and other art created by local artists who worked closely with families affected by gun violence. Mark discusses how the exhibition was started, and why it is coming to Pittsburgh with the Camerata.
The concert will feature commissioned work by Michael Markowski for the Camerata's 50th anniversary. The program will feature a theme of unity, redemption, and community, something that Mark believes we all need now more than ever.
This event is part of Shadyside Presbyterian Church's Music in a Great Space series. It will also feature a reception where the art exhibition can be viewed. Mark reflects on the significance of communal music, and how it brings people together. He also reflects on the challenges faced by arts organizations in the post-pandemic area, and how people can support the art in their communities.
You can hear Portraits by the Pittsburgh Camerata on Sunday, February 9th at 3 pm at Shadyside Presbyterian Church. Souls Shot will showcase alongside the Pittsburgh Camerata on Sunday February 9th, after the concert in the Sharp Atrium of the Presbyterian Church, running from 4:30 to 6:00 pm. This exhibition is free to attend.
