Art + Sound
Last year, faculty from the UMKC Conservatory of Music and Dance and the Kansas City Art Institute collaborated for monthly experimental performances called ArtSounds.
Series co-director Paul Rudy says, “It’s interesting to put conservatory people, who tend to be slightly overdisciplined, with Art Institute folks, who are unbelievably creative. Not that they’re not disciplined as well. And not that the conservatory folks don’t have ideas. But … that’s where the interesting messiness happens.”
Tonight’s performance addresses the Iraq War and incorporates a series of provocative images and original jazz compositions. The performance at Epperson Auditorium in Vanderslice Hall (on the Art Institute campus, 4415 Warwick) starts at 8 p.m. Admission is free. Call 816-802-3423 for more information.
