About the event

The concept behind The Matisse Jazz Project draws inspiration from the renowned cut paper collages by Henri Matisse, known as Jazz, which were first published in 1947. Pianist Christopher Bakriges has composed twenty pieces that are performed alongside violinist Gwen Laster, each piece corresponding to one of Matisse's iconic cutouts and his written works. This immersive experience combines music and visuals to delve into Matisse's idea of "teaching the eye to hear." Audience members are encouraged to participate in creating their own paper collages during the performance, using Matisse's art and music as inspiration. The Helen Day Art Center will provide art materials and guidance for this interactive activity.
