BRAQUE'S VIOLINS
Georges Braque co-founded Cubism with Pablo Picasso and revolutionized 20th-century painting. Where Analytical Cubism breaks objects into fragmented, muted-color planes to analyze form, the later Synthetic Cubism reverses this, building or 'synthesizing' images from simple, bright shapes, collage, real materials and found objects. We will explore works by Braque that embody both types of Cubism, all of which feature the violin.
And, we will hear works for the violin considered 'Cubist' because they, much like the paintings, deconstruct the apparent stability of the violin's traditional sound, offering multiple viewpoints and rhythmic fragments. On the programme: Hindemith, Stravinsky and Schoenberg.
The Piano in Paintings
This week we look at some more famous artworks featuring the – piano. The piano has long been a muse for painters. From 19th-century bourgeois salons to Cubist deconstructions and Surrealist dreams, this instrument has found itself at the center of artistic exploration time and again: in a private salon painted by Renoir; Matisse’s abstracted wartime meditation; Magritte’s wife sat at one; and Dali’s vision featuring a melted one along with Richard Wagner and a mysterious monarch lurking beneath. We’ll hear music by Debussy, Chopin, Satie and Wagner.

ROTHKO/ SCHOENBERG/ FELDMAN
This week’s programme focuses on the artist Mark Rothko and the music that a selection of his works has inspired. He was one of the pioneers of ‘colour field painting’, a style characterized by significant open space and an expressive use of color. We will hear Finding Rothko by Adam Schoenberg, a work praised for its colorful orchestration, rich textures and a sense of power and inevitability, similar to that which invested Rothko's work and, Morton Feldman’s 1971 ‘Rothko Chapel’, scored for singers, percussion, celesta, and viola soloists - the piece creates blocks of sound which are passed between the players, resulting in an aural shimmer like the vibrations between the colours in Rothko's paintings
