About the Series:

This series explores the relationship between art and music in a new, more immersive way, combining art exhibitions and lectures with chamber music concerts, highlighting the ways in which the same themes and ideas are expressed through the two mediums. Our goal is for every audience member to leave our concerts with a deeper understanding of art, music and the creative process. The concert series is made possible through a partnership between the Juliani Ensemble and Primitive Gallery, located in the West Loop neighborhood of Chicago. Each concert features a pre-concert discussion that highlights artworks from Primitive's immense and diverse collection relevant to the selection of music.
