Radiant Light

We are excited to introduce a new partnership with the Winona Symphony Orchestra. Water Music: Chamber Concerts at the MMAM presents a series of four chamber music concerts in an intimate, refined setting among the galleries. These performances are jointly programmed to spotlight both the visual treasures of the Minnesota Marine Art Museum and musical masterworks unified by a common theme.

About

With a nod toward Veterans Day and celebrating the freedoms won for our country, our first chamber concert will center on a magnificent and monumental painting by Edward Moran and include compositions by the patriotic American composer Randall Thompson. Exploring the effect of luminism in creating lightness and clarity, this program emphasizes the use of color modulation in the artwork and tonal color of the newly invented clarinet, which fascinated Mozart and inspired his Clarinet Quintet.
