Details

Along with its role as a home for the visual arts, how might the Johnson Museum’s unique I. M. Pei building inspire musical compositions? Join us for this special opportunity to hear keyboard performances by student composers, inspired by the building’s architecture, light, and environment—as well as the sound of an original 1865 Broadwood piano from the Cornell Center for Historical Keyboards—as a point of departure.

Doctor of Music Arts–Composition students James Parker, Michael Li, Seare Ahmad Farhat, and Maria Alejandra Bulla Clavijo will perform in the Hirsch Lecture Lobby on Floor 2L, located next to the Morgan Japanese Garden. Cosponsored by the Cornell Center for Historical Keyboards, this free event is open to all.
