Experience the essence of the American South in "Catfish Row", Gershwin's concert version of his opera "Porgy and Bess". From the soulful resonance of "Summertime" to the rhythmic charm of "It Ain't Necessarily So," immerse yourself in rich the storytelling by soprano NIA KELLEY and baritone KENDI JENSEN-LOVING with the harmonies and narratives that define a musical era. Program includes other Gershwin favorities and "Summerland" by William Grant Still. ISRAEL GETZOV conducts.
The Chamber Music Society of Little Rock's season finale features violinist Ariana Kim, noted by The New York Times for giving “the proceedings an invaluable central thread of integrity and stylishness.” Ms. Kim's performance will exhibit diverse works from Bach to bluegrass, and audience goers can meet her following the concert at a complimentary reception, where wine and food will be served.
ASC will host an opening reception for the photography exhibition “Field Notes” by Gary Cawood, 5-7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 19. This exhibition is in the Loft Gallery at The ARTSpace on Main, 623 S. Main St.
Cawood is drawn to sites where the natural contours of the landscape have been disturbed or disrupted, such as abandoned quarries or excavations for new construction projects. As the landscape goes through a transformation via human persuasion, nature inevitably asserts its own transformations and converts the shiny and new to the tarnished and worn. His work in this series of 33 images emphasizes scale as an element of visual composition, exploring various ways the measuring scale can be integrated into the scene, sometimes titling the effect to be more ambiguous than factual.
The exhibition will be on view through Wednesday, April 24. It is sponsored by Relyance Bank.
Artwork: “Former Address”
The ARTx3 Campus will host an opening reception for “Quotidian Moments: Different Lenses” an exhibition by Rhaelene Lowther and Anna Zusman, from 5-7 p.m. Friday, March 22. The exhibition will be in the Ben J. Altheimer Gallery at The Arts & Science Center for Southeast Arkansas, 701 S. Main St.
This collaborative exhibition was born from the scenic walks the two Magnolia-based artists took together during the pandemic. They discovered that they responded most to transformation and directed to subject matter related to seasons, lighting, weather, and lifecycles. These became the catalysts for concepts that emerged into a series of paintings. These paintings provide a glimpse into how observation and creativity, the willingness to explore them, can lead to important discoveries about oneself and those surrounding them.
The exhibition will be on view through Saturday, June 29. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays. It is sponsored by Relyance Bank.
