Music and Art of Mikalojus K. Ciurlionis

Andrius Kuprevicius - Music and Art of Mikalojus K. Ciurlionis - This year was the 100th anniversary of Lithuanian artist/composer M.K. Ciurlionis, whose introduction of structural principles of music into visual form heralded the development of abstract 20th-century art and non-figurative painting. Both the music and art of this Symbolist innovator were presented in a program of piano works, performed by Andrius Kuprevicius, Chairman of the Piano Department of Cleveland State University. Ira Licht, Curator, presented slides of Ciurlionis' paintings with commentary.
