French Impressionism in art and in music aimed to capture glimpses of life's fleeting moments -- the vibrancy of the light on the Seine at sunrise, the serenity of a lily pond, or the conversations between wind and waves -- a celebration of the world moment-by-moment. Join us at 6:30 p.m. at Music on the Square for a full evening of all things French or drop in a little later to listen to the music of local Frenchman Claude Cymerman and friends--fellow pianists Anthony Weinstein and Émile Naoumoff (IU Jacobs School of Music). As seating is limited to the first 80 participants, advance tickets are requested.
