Edward Beckett’s art interprets Pasadena Conservatory concert
Altadena artist Edward Beckett will be involved with the Pasadena Conservatory of Music’s “Mansions & Music” on the stunning campus of Sacred Heart [Girl’s] Academy in Flintridge (behind JPL) on Sun., March 14, at 3 PM.
Pianist Mark Robson will play a 2-hour piece of modern piano music (including intermission) by the French composer, Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992), Vingt Regards Sur L’Enfant-Jesus.
Beckett’s wife Sharon Bailey Beckett tells us: “Edward’s symbolic expressionist art work will reflect or interpret the music being performed. The music has 20 movements and Edward has created a drawing for each movement, along with a magnificent painting that is thirteen feet wide. Edward will also be giving a small talk.”
Lauded by the Los Angeles Times as a pianist with “one of the great techniques” and “an inquiring mind,” Mark Robson has created a career which expresses his diverse interests as soloist, chamber artist, composer, and conductor. He has been on the music staff of the Los Angeles Opera since January of 1991, working as an assistant conductor and coach, and has been a musical assistant at the Salzburg and Spoleto (Italy) festivals. Robson’s music has been programmed on concerts in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Barcelona, and Paris.
Tickets are $75 per person and proceeds benefit the Pasadena Conservatory of Music. Seating is limited. Reservations are required. 626.683.3355 www.pasadenaconservatory.org
