Sight and Sound: A Musical Journey of Visual Art at Lehman College Art Gallery

What does your favorite work of art “sound” like? How can a musical composition give a deeper meaning to visual art? Join Soprano, Yolanda F. Johnson for a very special afternoon of music, where we explore music’s relationship to art, through operatic arias, art songs, spirituals and more.

Sight and Sound: A Musical Journey of Visual Art also features the world premiere of a specially commissioned new musical work, created for Ms. Johnson, by renowned late composer, James Cohn. The work is created for voice and piano trio, and is inspired by French Post-Impressionist Paul Gauguin’s famous painting Three Tahitians (1899).

Ms. Johnson will be joined by Michael Eisenberg (piano), Laura Jean Goldberg (violin) and Kate Dillingham (cello). You won’t want to miss this!
