About this concert
The Collaboration in Concert (CIC) series gives listeners the opportunity to create an art piece under the tutelage of a professional painter, poet, author, photographer, or other artist, while gaining inspiration from the ensemble’s live music. For this event, in concurrence with Ursa’s season-long exploration of France’s profound impact on music, we will be uncovering the influence French composers, impressionist painters, and jazz musicians had on one another in the early 1900s. Ursa Ensemble will be joined by the Isabella Isherwood Jazz Trio to perform works be Maurice Ravel, Jean Cras, Duke Ellington, Django Reinhardt, Bill Evans, and Claude Debussy. Our guest artist, Melanie Brown, will be teaching the audience a few of the techniques used by painters such as Claude Monet, allowing listeners to create their own art piece while listening to this diverse program!
