The Highlands-Cashiers Chamber Music Festival celebrates its upcoming 2018 summer season with two events in Atlanta in April. Pictures at an Exhibition @ the High on Saturday, April 21, at 3:00 P.M. will provide an exclusive preview of the upcoming season. There will be a private Art Tour at Park Place from 2:00 to 5:00 P.M. Sunday, April 22.
The magnificent High Museum is the setting for Pictures at an Exhibition @ the High, featuring the international award-winning Vega String Quartet, and bassist Emory Clement, performing Mussorgsky’s great masterpiece in a special transcription for String Quartet, surrounded by magnificent art in the Robinson Atrium.
The Vega String Quartet, Quartet-in-Residence at Emory University, is internationally acclaimed and has toured extensively throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Bassist Emory Clements is a member of the Atlanta Opera Orchestra and is a major presence on the Southeastern orchestral scene.
Special artwork by the young Ukrainian Master Elena Vizerskaya will also be on display. Considered one of the world’s great photo artists, Elena’s award-winning art has been exhibited in galleries, and featured on magazine covers and in advertising campaigns.
Following the performance, enjoy an opportunity to mix and mingle with the musicians. Admission to this event is free with a museum entrance fee.
The private Art Tour on Sunday offers a tour of three private, exceptional art collections. Anna and Hayes Mershon, Barbara Guillaume, and Elsie and Jim Henderson are opening their homes for this special tour. A light reception will be offered at the last house on the tour. Valet parking will be available. Tickets are $50 per person and are available through the Highlands-Cashiers Chamber Music Festival office at (828) 526-9060 or at [email protected].
