What if you could hear a Georgia O'Keeffe painting?

The Cassatt String Quartet are back with a special preview performance of Victoria Bond's New York Nocturne—a new work inspired by four of O'Keeffe's iconic paintings of New York City.

The program explores how today's composers translate visual art into sound. The evening culminates in a rare preview of New York Nocturne before its official premiere.

Think of it as stepping inside an O'Keeffe painting—with a string quartet providing the soundtrack.

Tickets through the PortTIX Box Office.
