Odilon Redon Salon: Words and Music

This lecture and concert explores the rich artistic world of Odilon Redon's late 19th-century Paris. Featuring performances of music by Bach, Chausson, and Saint-Saëns, among others, and reflections on writers like Gustave Flaubert and Edgar Allan Poe, this afternoon salon traces the connections between sound, literature, imagination, and the Symbolist art that influenced Redon. The chamber music is organized by French violinist Ambroise Aubrun with readings and a discussion of Redon's art by Danielle Canter, curator of Odilon Redon: Otherworldly Visions.
