# Event Details - **Event Name**: TIME: Photography, Music & Collective Creation | Light & Bloom - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 17 Oct, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Sat, 17 Oct, 2026 at 09:30 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Join us for an extraordinary evening of photo art and live classical music exploring how time is experienced, preserved, and shared.About this EventTIMEEnter TIME, an interdisciplinary evening where photography, live classical performance, and audience creation of Canvas of Sound come together in an exploration of how we experience, preserve, and remember time.WHAT THE EVENING INCLUDES• Visual Art & PhotographyExplore the work of featured photographer Eliso Babuadze, presented in New York for the first time.• Short Artist DocumentaryA glimpse into Eliso Babuadze’s artistic world, process, and perspective.• Live Classical PerformanceViolin · Cello · PianoAn intimate live performance by internationally acclaimed young artists, featuring the premiere of a solo violin work by Ajibola Rivers alongside music by Debussy, Piazzolla, Gershwin, Popper, Azarashvili, Kreisler, Saint-Saëns, Barber’s Adagio for Strings, and more.• Audience-Created Art — “Canvas of Sound”The audience becomes part of the artistic journey, responding to the music through color and visual expression. All materials are provided.• Time with the ArtistsStay after the performance for art, conversation, connection, and time with the featured artists.Presented by Light & Bloom Concert Platform, TIME unfolds through three connected forms of expression: photography captures moments that have passed, music transforms the present, and the audience creates a visual memory of what remains.The evening begins with an exhibition of selected works by Eliso Babuadze, a musician and photographer based in Finland. Her photographs hold fragments of life, place, and human experience still—inviting us to look more closely at moments that might otherwise disappear.The exhibition leads into a live classical performance shaped as one complete artistic journey. Moving across different eras, styles, and cultural voices, the musical program explores the many ways we experience time: through memory and nostalgia, movement and change, stillness and reflection.Rather than following a single historical period, the music creates its own passage through time, allowing distant musical worlds to meet within one shared present.Near the conclusion of the performance, audience members who wish to participate will be invited to translate their experience of the music onto a small canvas.There is no prescribed image, technique, or interpretation—and no artistic experience is needed. The canvas is simply a personal response to what you heard, felt, remembered, or imagined during the performance.All materials will be provided.Following the final musical work, the individual canvases will be brought together to form The Canvas of Sound—a collective installation created by the audience through one shared experience.What begins as an individual response to music becomes part of something larger: a visual record of a moment that existed only once, among the people who were there to experience it.Throughout the evening, selected moments from the performance and creative process will be photographed. Images will later be shared with attendees, allowing fragments of the experience to live beyond the evening itself.In TIME, photography preserves what has passed. Music transforms the present. And together, we create what remains.Evening Schedule6:45 PM — Doors OpenTIME begins at 7:00 PM.

Through carefully curated programs and an immersive atmosphere, the series creates concerts that are both intellectually engaging and emotionally restorative." } ] } ] ```
