Munson Museum of Art
Event: Lunch and Listen
Fridays, Aug. 1 to 29, at noon | Free
Root Court
This educational program complements the exhibition Celestial Bodies: Sculpture by Karen LaMonte, which is on view at Munson until Dec. 31, 2025. The nocturnes of Chopin inspired the stunning draped female figures in cast-glass and metal in LaMonte’s Nocturne series, and she often has music of the Romantic period playing in her studio while she works. Through this program, Munson showcases local pianists while providing a comfortable and casual environment for the community to feast on the arts during their lunch hour.
Schedule:
- Aug. 1: Stephen Wu
- Aug. 8: Sar-Shalom Strong
- Aug. 15: Vincent Li
- Aug. 22: Anita Humer and Rebecca Wu
- Aug. 29: Jovita Bernard and Edin Hadzimujic
