Presented by the Jung Institute of San Francisco
On January 31, 2016, Cal Performances will present Des Canyons aux Étoiles by Olivier Messiaen, in conjunction with a visual evocation, created by photographic artist Deborah O’Grady, of the Utah canyons that inspired the piece. In anticipation of that event, this full-day program explores the spiritual, aesthetic and ecological resonances of the canyon landscape, Messiaen’s otherworldly music and Deborah O’Grady’s breathtaking visuals. The artist will speak about and share her work. She will be followed by five other speakers, each of whom will present different ways of engaging with how environment and art connect in psyche.
