Event Description

For our final CLOSE ENCOUNTER, we invite you to paint or draw the spectacles that percolate within your mind as we play–with a little help from a professional artist, of course. We’re beside ourselves to have Katherine Desjardins, faculty member of School of the Art Institute and the University Of Chicago, as our painting instructor and inspirer for this event.

Schoenberg himself was a pretty exceptional painter, using self-portraiture as a way to unlock his own interior life, and with the aid of some…talent juice…we’re intrigued to see what emerges for you as you put brush to canvas–while we provide the musical inspiration.
