What would be the sound of art if it were music? What would be the pitch of any given color, or the rhythm of a brushstroke? See art through the ears of musicians as they verbally share their reflection of a piece of art then musically express it through live musical performance. This video series, led by Beach Museum of Art Teaching Artist and saxophonist Nate McClendon, will feature local and K-State musicians who will ask “Do you Hear What I’m Seeing?”
The following videos are from season one, featuring faculty from Kansas State University School of Music, Theater, and Dance.
