Step into “Sonic Canvas: A Journey Through Sound and Art,” a free, unique experience at the San José Museum of Art! This interactive event brings together San José State University faculty, guest artists, and students to perform a dynamic range of music in conversation with the Museum’s permanent collection gallery, Tending and Dreaming: Stories from the Collection.
The program kicks off with a chamber music prelude by SJSU students, followed by an interactive performance of contemporary music and poetry. As the performances unfold, you are invited to engage your creativity by writing and reflecting on the art and sound around you.
Don’t miss this exciting and compelling celebration of creativity, where music, poetry, and visual art come alive, and you are part of the experience!
“Sonic Canvas: A Journey Through Sound and Art” is supported in part by an Artistic Excellence Programming Grant from the College of Humanities and the Arts.
