Solo Piano Performance – Inspired by Surrealism

The Flint Institute of Arts has a wonderful exhibition of surrealist artists called Beyond Dreams: Surrealism and Its Manifestations. Well-known artists like Salvador Dalí, Joan Miro, and Leonora Carrington, as well as contemporary artists like Kenny Scharf, Sergei Isupov, and Peter Milton. I’ll be doing a solo piano performance and discussing connections and similarities between the surrealist art movement and the development of jazz improvisation.
