Baker & Baker Presents: Art of Music: Jazz – The Sounds of Impressionism
Friday, April 5 | 7:00 p.m.
“Impressionist Music” was used to describe the romantic classical works of composers such as
Debussy and Ravel in the late 19th century, but perhaps it more aptly describes that unique
American art form—jazz! As Monet advises, “try to forget what objects you have before
you…paint it as it looks to you…until it gives your own naïve impression of the scene before
you.” In this spirit, John Tecklenburg has assembled both classical and jazz musicians to
offer their collaborative interpretations of the sounds of Impressionism. John Tecklenburg on
piano, Jon Phillips on saxophone, Stephan Berry on trumpet and flugelhorn, Brian Reed on
French horn and Ellen Dressler Moryl on cello. $10 / $8 for members.
Music 101: British Music and Art in the Age of Handel and Hogarth
Wednesdays, April 17 – May 15 | 10:00 – 11:00 a.m.
The popular Music 101 lecture series returns with a six-week exploration of British culture
during the 18th century. Beginning with the restoration of the monarchy (1660) after the
English Civil War and concluding with the crowning of Queen Victoria (1837), this course
surveys the musicians, artists and social forces that transformed London into a vibrant
artistic center. Peter Hoyt, Adjunct Curator for Music, presents a survey of this brilliant and
tumultuous period in England and its colonies. In addition to listening to compositions,
this class examines architects and artists with special attention given to the English tradition
of comic engravings as exemplified by William Hogarth and his successors. Pre-registration
required. Series: $80 / $64 for members. Individual Class: $15 / $12 for members.
