Grammy-nominated orchestra Europa Galante is in high demand across the globe with appearances in the most prestigious venues and festivals, including their October 2005 début with BEMF. They have dazzled audiences with their fiery passion and eminently stylish playing. They return to the BEMF stage in a program showcasing beloved music by Haydn, Vivaldi, Bach, and Handel, and rediscovered gems by Brioschi and Scaccia. The selections explore the transition between the Baroque and Classical periods as composers retained old styles but married them with more forward-looking ideas. This dynamic is mirrored in the featured composers, with familiar masters alongside newly recognized transitional figures.

Albright Art is excited to announce the opening of George Herman’s second solo show at the gallery: Mans and Other. The work will be displayed January 10th through March 11th. Everyone is welcome to visit with George at the Opening Reception Thursday January 12th from 6pm to 8pm. Come gather with friends, artists and art enthusiasts to celebrate George's new experimental work. George Herman is a versatile painter whose work travels through abstraction, landscape-based imagery, and figurative work. Within his broad range of subject matters is a link that ties them all together—his process. By scraping down his past paintings, George finds remains of ideas that were once covered up or overlooked. He builds from those hidden shapes and textures to form new works that keep him and his viewers inspired. Mans and Other is a collection of paintings that George refers to as realistic portraits of imaginary people. He takes different facial features from multiple beings—in newspaper ads, old ye

(TAPESTRY) RADIO ON: New Work by Victoria Morton at the Gardner

Special Event
Victoria Morton draws from the instinctive vocabulary of abstraction to renew our sense of perception and of the real. Her canvases are densely detailed with layered watercolor-like washes of oil and thicker brushstrokes and repeated gestures that invite viewers to look carefully. Initially appearing purely abstract, her work reveals traces of figures and movement with slight changes in light or position. Objects included in the exhibition are part of the expanded space of the paintings. A ladder, or a drum, or a dress, becomes something functional in a new way. These objects create an environment for the paintings and add a performative dimension.
