The Composer's Craft: Mozart

Join Munroe Saturday Nights for The Composer’s Craft: Mozart – A Performance and Discussion, Saturday, June 5th at 7:30pm. The concert will be streamed over zoom.

Jenny Stirling, violist, and George Larivee, pianist, will perform the Andante movement from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Sonata for Violin and Piano, K. 454. A discussion will follow (in layman’s terms), in which we will explore the basic building blocks of the music that Mozart so brilliantly interweaves. Melodic figures, rhythmic gestures, antecedent-consequent phrasing, and the use of harmony will all be considered as we trace the interchange of these ingredients between violin and keyboard. The goal is to help listeners strengthen their inner experience, developing a uniquely personal response to what they hear and feel. Some might have a sense of Mozart’s extraordinary ability to transmit grace and beauty, while others might glean something entirely different. 

To support our programming, there's a suggested donation for this event of $10 ($20 for a family). 

Contemporary Approaches to Watercolor I and II

Contemporary Approaches to Watercolor Workshops I and II can be taken together or as separate workshops. 

They are for everyone who would like to experience watercolors. It will offer a number of projects that use this medium in an experimental and very enjoyable way from learning to use stencils, layers, salt and a variety of texture creating materials. In addition to exploring the medium of watercolor, students will find inspiration in textiles, surface designs, patterns and the natural world. Students will be able to work both representationally and abstractly. 

Workshop I will focus on how to use stencils, how to create textures with variety of materials and introduce drawing as an integral part of making an image. We will use gel pens and acrylic markers to integrate the drawing element into the watercolors. 

In Workshop II students will be able to try liquid watercolors and gouache in addition to traditional watercolor paints. The workshop will focus on using nature inspired themes and using natural elements to create patterns and more abstract compositions. 

In both workshops students will be shown images of contemporary artists using the medium in very inspiring and unexpected ways.

Taught by Boriana Kantcheva

Workshop I, June 6, Sunday 12:00 pm – 3:00 pm $65 (ages 16+)

Workshop II, June 13, Sunday, 12:00 pm – 3:00 pm $65 (ages 16+)
