Fractured Landscapes: Memory, Color, and Sound with Ilana Zaks, Violin

Sunday, February 15, 3 – 4:30 PM

This recital, featuring violinist Ilana Zaks with pianist Valeria Polunina, explores the dynamic interplay between sound and visual space through emotional terrain, digital distortion, and expressive color. Inspired by the work of Shara Hughes and Anastasia Samoylova, this program reimagines how solo violin, electronics, and violin–piano duos can reflect painterly abstraction, layered memory, and architectural disorientation. The recital includes works by J.S. Bach, Scott Joplin, Kaija Saariaho, and Paul Schoenfeld.

Cost: $35 (includes Museum Admission)/Members $15
