In Present Music's Art, Architecture and Music audiences are invited
on a musical tour of the Milwaukee Art Museum. Though the program begins
with a traditional seated performance in the museum's Windhover Hall, where
the ensemble will play music that uses art and architecture as a starting
point, the evening is soon set in motion. The audience will be divided into
three groups, each making its way around the Lubar Auditorium, Bradley
Gallery and Contemporary Art Gallery, where the work of Mark Rothko, Andy
Warhol and op-art from MAM's newest exhibit, "Sensory Overload," will be
enlivened by the sounds of Morton Feldman's Trio for Flutes, Steve
Reich's Nagoya Marimbas and Fredrik Högberg's Pop Musikk, to
name but a few. The event begins with a pre-concert talk with Chief Curator
Joe Ketner at 6 p.m. and visiting composer Alex Mincek at 6:45 p.m, while
the trendsetting Bay View boutique Fashion Ninja hosts a runway show at
7:30.
