YMUSIC | TRUE TO NATURE
Sunday, April 19, 2020 at 3:30 pm (CANCELLED)
Presented by The National Gallery of Art
Curated and produced by Kate Nordstrum, Liquid Music
yMusic, composed of "six contemporary classical polymaths who playfully overstep the boundaries of musical genres” (New Yorker), performs in concert halls, arenas, and clubs around the world. Founded in New York City in 2008, yMusic presents excellent, emotionally communicative music, regardless of style or idiom. This concert features works by contemporary composers inspired by nature, and the music enhances the nineteenth-century plein air art works in True to Nature: Open-Air Painting in Europe, 1780–1870, on view through May 3, 2020.
