Lunchtime Concert Series | Blue Sonority

What does blue sound like?

This is the fundamental question that inspires this program in response to the exhibition Blue Profundity: Contemporary Artists Revisit a Color, currently showing at the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Art Gallery until December 20, 2024. Come to simultaneously immerse yourself in the shades and sonorities of blue right in the middle of the gallery.
