The concert is scheduled for 7 p.m., Feb. 19, at Sebring-Lewis Hall, Bucksbaum Center for the Arts.
Admission is free, but tickets are required for admission.
The concert will feature new compositions by seven contemporary composers based on works of art at the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art. Composers include Grinnell College faculty member Jonathan Chenette. We worked with Jan and John to develop the concept and helped them select works that composers might use to inspire their music. Having this concert at Grinnell College is a happy conclusion to our previous collaborations with Jan and John. Other composers commissioned for the project, besides Chenette, include Coe College professor Jerry Owen, John Thow, professor of composition at the University of California at Berkeley, and New York composer, conductor and flutist Katherine Hoover.
