Culture Corner

For those of you looking to infuse your life with a little culture, I’ve got just the trick.

Friend and topic of two past blogs, violinist Gil Morgenstern, is performing in New York City at the Rubin Museum of Art on Wednesday, March 19 at 7:00pm. The program is entitled Reflections: Dance, Dialogues and Dualism and will feature pieces ranging from Bach, Beethoven and Ravel to Barkauskas, Berio and Paert, exploring a wide range of musical styles from vastly different historical periods with an aim to connect the music of one age to another.

The performance will feature Gil Morgenstern, violinist and artistic director, with Jonathan Feldman on piano and is part of a series of events happening at the Rubin Museum of Art (RMA), a unique and impressive 70,000-square-foot museum located in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. RMA is a nonprofit institution, which focuses on the art of the Himalayas and supports educational programs, a permanent collection, and a wide range of exhibitions, all of which are designed to aid a diverse audience experience and connect with other cultures.

RMA boasts an impressive collection of Himalayan art including paintings, sculptures and textiles ranging over two millennia and brings recognition to a largely unacknowledged artistic region. The museum offers audiences the opportunity to experience other cultures through various means beyond the museum itself through an impressive calendar featuring events including music, film, family activities, speeches, tours, workshops and theater and Mr. Morgenstern has earned a place on the demanding schedule.

If you’re by the big apple, take a swing by on March 19 and have a bite.
Let me know how it tastes.
