The Glens Falls Symphony Presents: Sound Canvases, Gunther Schuller and Paul Klee

American composer Gunther Schuller (1925-2015) took the Swiss artist Paul Klee (1879-1940) as his inspirational source for his 1959 orchestral work 7 Studies on Themes of Paul Klee. The seven works he chose were created between 1912 and 1933 and capture a wide range of Klee’s artistic output in painting and drawing. The work was one of Schuller’s most popular pieces and was an example of Schuller’s ‘Third Stream’ movement pieces that fused jazz and classical music, as well as showcasing his interest in the arts.

This performance will also feature Modest Mousorgsky, arr. Maurice Ravel: Pictures at an Exhibition. Ravel's orchestral imagination melds magically with Mussorgsky’s responses to his friend Victor Hartmann’s images in a performance you will not want to miss!

This concert will be held at South Glens Falls Senior High School, 42 Merrit Road, South Glens Falls, NY.
