A Multi-Media Concert Inspired by the Waters of Upstate NYBarneveld, NY- [October 3, 2024] Musical Canvas II: Water, the second in a series of multi-media performances featuring pianist Tina Toglia and visual artist Mary P. Murphy will debut at Unity Hall in Barneveld, NY on Sunday, November 17, 2024. The performance will immerse viewers in the artists' interpretations of the glorious waters of Central NY. Tina will perform pieces on the piano, including the world premiere of Blue Mountain Lake Suite by Jane Kozhevnikova, alongside works by Beach, Debussy, Einaudi, Liszt, Nazaykinskaya, Offenbach, and Riopy. Mary will paint live and share videos in harmony with the music.
The first collaboration between artists Toglia and Murphy, Of Time & Place: A Musical Canvas, debuted in January 2024 at Munson, the fine art museum in Utica, NY. Unity Hall hosted an encore of that performance in June 2024. Reflecting on the event, visual artist Martha Deming remarked, “Now, more than ever, when I look at a painting, I hear music; and when I hear music, I see brushstrokes and colors in my mind... Your event bonded the two art forms forever in my thoughts. It adds a whole new dimension to 'en plein air.'"
The November 17th performance will take place at 3PM in Unity Hall’s historic Landecker Theatre at 101 Vanderkemp Avenue, Barneveld. General admission tickets are $15 for Unity Hall members, $20 for non-members, and $10 for students with ID. Tickets are available in advance at www.unityhall.com (via Humanitix) or locally at the Adirondack Cheese Company (Rt. 12, Barneveld). Limited tickets will be sold at the door starting at 2:15PM (if available). Members will get early seating preference.
