Art. Music.

For our last concert as Orchestra in Residence at the Hammer Museum we explore the intersection of physical art and music. We’re interested in the studio practice, post-studio practice, and ideas of what makes art in a museum different from art in a concert hall, temporal or otherwise.

We’re playing music by and inspired by art — we’re going to saturate the museum in sound with commissions written specifically for spaces at the Hammer.

Respighi — Botticelli Triptych “La primavera”
Don McLean — Vincent / Halvorson
Antony and the Johnsons — the spirit was gone / Valitutto
