Join UMSL’s internationally acclaimed Arianna String Quartet for “First Mondays with the ASQ”. This one-of-a kind interdisciplinary concert series offers audience members a rare behind the scenes look into the craft and artistry of the string quartet, and an opportunity for informal, direct discussion and interaction with UMSL’s renowned Arianna String Quartet, as they examine the dynamic process of interpretation, live performance, and connections between classical music and our world.
The Arianna String Quartet is delighted to share their ongoing conversation between the visual and musical arts with Mike Behle, Chair of the Art and Design Department at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. The invisibility of music and the silence of visual art create a complementary space in which both can exist as reflections of the same human need to create art and to share in its enjoyment. Join us for an engaging discussion of gestures, colors, shapes, and energy as expressed through both art and music.
