Night-themed songs and artworks at ASU Art Museum

Who
The ASU Art Museum, named “the single most impressive venue for contemporary art in Arizona” by Art in America

What
Continues its Tuesday NightSeries with NightSongs, a collaboration between the ASU Art Museum and the ASU Herberger College School of Music. Hosted assistant professor in voice, Robert Barefield, the performance takes place within the museum galleries. Vocalists and students perform songs based on night-themed poetry against the backdrop of paintings and sculpture of night imagery, combining the visual with the auditory. The program includes Der Kleine Sandmann bin ich (Hansel und Gretel) by Engelbert Humperdinck, O du mein holder Abendstern (Tannhäuser) by Richard Wagner and other breath-taking opera pieces.

The ASU Art Museum Tuesday NightSeries is an innovative, multi-disciplinary arts showcase ASU Herberger College of the Arts. It is comprised of three sections: NightActs, NightMoves, and NightSongs, which showcase theatre, dance and music performances (respectively) in response to the visual art on display throughout the museum in exhibitions and public spaces.

“NightSeries is a 'must see' for those who enjoy fresh, cross-disciplinary artistic interpretations,” says Heather Lineberry, interim director and senior curator of the ASU Art Museum. “The program highlights the ASU Herberger College of the Arts faculty and students’ exploration of new venues, audiences and forms for their work.”
