Curator and artist Ellsworth Kelly's Suite of Plant Lithographs are, according to the artist, "exact observations" in which "nothing is changed or added," allowing the truth of each flower or leaf to make itself felt. But can an artist ever create a rendition that doesn't also include their unique perceptions? SMTD Piano Professor Logan Skelton and colleagues will present folk music arrangements by Bela Bartok and others to investigate this question through a musical lens.

The SMTD@UMMA performance series is generously supported by the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund and the Greg Hodes and Heidi Hertel Hodes—Partners in the Arts Endowment Fund.
