SUMMARY:Dining on the 6th - A Chazen Museum Tour!
DESCRIPTION:For February we offer less food and more art and music on the 6th. You are invited to a feast for your eyes and food for your mind and heart when you join us at the Chazen Museum of Art at 2:15 PM on Sunday\, February 6th\, inside the main entrance lobby at 800 University Ave. Masks are required for entry – but no cloth masks. \nMaureen Kind will be our very own guide. She has 20-plus years of experience as a trained docent at the Chazen. She will explain some particulars about the current exhibit – the Audubon prints. We also will walk a short distance to other rooms to admire and learn about the works of the great masters. \nIf you want to add to your experience\, you can arrive shortly after 12:00 noon to listen to a free concert in the Chazen’s Sunday Afternoon Live series. The February 6th concert will feature a rare combination of classical guitarist Dr. Christopher Allen and bassoonist Dr. Juliana Mesa. The program will include Variations on Mozart’s The Magic Flute\, pieces by Villa Lobos and Maurice Ravel\, and more.
