Music in the IMA Galleries & The Garden: Glick Fountain 

Thursday, May 1, 2025 | 1 PM 
Glick Fountain  
Included with General Admission & Free for Members 

Local musicians extraordinaire Christopher Pitts and Bobby Young collaborated to develop new music inspired by 19th and 20th Century art. Join them for a discussion on how various works have inspired these new pieces and hear them performed for the first time. These musical interpretations strive build a bridge between visual and auditory art, offering an immersive cross-sensory experience.
