Join us right before the April First Friday with the Arts opening reception with Jesse Steele!

“Being a life long learner is essential to being a composer, or artist of any type. In this program, you will hear me perform a new original sonata for guitar inspired by the up coming eclipse. I will talk about my process in composing this new work, in a relatively short time frame, as well as learning about the sonata musical form in general and ways to play with traditional forms to help and inform modern composition. Other pieces and excerpts, both original and contemporary, will also be looked at shortly to explore these ideas both on and off the guitar. In exploring these ideas we will also touch on some challenges and tricks to composing for the guitar.”

Kerry Mulvania Hirth will be in the gallery speaking about her exhibition, Sweet With All Music. She will be how synesthesia helps her create her artwork, how she partnered with a women’s art co-op in Morocco, and more! This will be a great Learning Things Is Cool lecture for audience questions so don’t miss it!
