Featured Event
Worlds Collide: Music Inspired by Georgia O’Keefe and Palo Duro Canyon
Friday, October 2, 7pm and Saturday, October 3, 3pm and 7pm
Join us for an exciting evening of interdisciplinary chamber music celebrating legendary artist Georgia O'Keeffe! This performance will feature two exciting compositions: "Unpainted Pictures" by Kincaid Rabb and "O'Keeffe Suite" by Carrie Magin, both inspired by the paintings and poetry of O'Keeffe while she lived in Canyon, TX, and taught at West Texas.
This performance will feature a presentation by O'Keeffe scholar and West Texas A&M faculty member Amy Von Lintel to establish the setting in O'Keeffe's life during this time period. Our featured performers include faculty members from West Texas A&M - Dr. Kathleen Bell, oboe, Dr. Conor Bell, bassoon, and Dr. Sarah Rushing, piano.
Rabb's "Unpainted Pictures" is a composition in six movements, where the composer imagines O'Keeffe's wartime letters as potential paintings that were never completed. The letters will be read by Von Lintel before each movement.
Magin's "O'Keeffe Suite" is a collection of five movements inspired by paintings that O'Keeffe created during this same time period.
The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum has graciously allowed us to project images of the paintings during the performance of Magin's suite.
This project is supported in part by an Elevate Grant of Austin Arts, Culture, Music and Entertainment.
