Paniker (1911-77), whose canvases teem with animals, astrological symbols, and unreadable writing. This lecture by Rebecca M. Brown, Professor and Director of Graduate Studies, History of Art at Johns Hopkins University, delves into these vibrant, dynamic works and considers their dialogue with the animals housed next door.
The worlds of opera, ballet, comedy and tragedy visit this melodious program, bookended by Mozart’s vivacious Marriage of Figaro Overture and Prokofiev’s dramatic Suite from Romeo and Juliet.

A feast of keyboard virtuosity and irresistible lyrical themes, it is highlighted by a magical Nocturne, in which a rapturously beautiful melody makes time stand still.
