Description

The Minnesota Marine Art Museum is excited to partner with the Winona Symphony Orchestra to bring you “Water Music”, evenings that marry two art forms and celebrate their shared inspiration.

We introduce the season with a program inspired by the signature collection of Hudson River Valley artists and members of an influential group of composers known familiarly as the Boston Six. A distinctly American program, these string quartets of Amy Beach and George Chadwick use Native American melodies and folk fiddle tunes respectively. Both music and painting sharing a common birthplace in the Northeast, they each influenced the genesis of a truly “American” style during a period of growing awareness of the American identity. Join us as we celebrate the melodic origins and pictorial beauty of the land and pay tribute to the beloved collection of the Hudson River School.
