This episode of Performance Talks is a conversation with the General Manager of Live Arts at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Limor Tomer.
Tomer earned both her B.A. and M.A. from The Juilliard School. For 10 years, she performed professionally as a classical pianist in solo and orchestral performances throughout the U.S. and Europe. While at The Met, Tomer expanded and branched out the museum's performance program into exciting new arenas.
In this conversation, we speak about what it looks like to program live work at a historical museum, the interaction between architecture and performance, and the evolution of live art programming at the Met, which started as the 'lectures and concerts' department, contained within it's auditorium, but now encompasses all performing arts, which visitors can encounter throughout the museum.
