About

To commemorate the centennial of Claude Monet’s death, we invite you to reflect on his art and legacy through the prism of music.

In this multisensory workshop held in the Main Gallery at the Barnes, internationally acclaimed flutist Mimi Stillman will perform music related to Monet’s art and life by composers such as Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, Erik Satie, and Cécile Chaminade. Stillman will also perform one of her own compositions.

Highlighting masterworks by Monet and other impressionists in the Barnes, we will explore how atmospheric light, movement, and fleeting sensations can be communicated by both the visual and sonic arts.

Capacity: 60

Our Sound and Color series revisits Dr. Barnes’s original vision of pairing music with visual art, drawing inspiration from his historical lectures and curated playlists. Using the Main Gallery as both a classroom and a concert hall, each sensory-rich workshop explores how visual and aural elements interact to shape perception, evoke emotions, and create meaning.
