Gregory Walker
Performances at 12 p.m. and 1 p.m.
Enjoy live music in the Clyfford Still Museum galleries with performances at 12-12:45 p.m. and 1-1:45 p.m. by Gregory Walker on violin, performing a program of solo violin music focused on motion and emotion. Motion and emotion are at the heart of centuries of solo violin repertoire, and Walker will treat us to a program including the unaccompanied dances of J.S. Bach and Nicolo Paganini’s virtuosity to the down-and-dirty blues of Gregory T.S. Walker and African-American pioneer Dolores White.
The performances are included with Museum admission and are free for CSM members. Seating is limited and first come, first served. The music may be enjoyed from any gallery.
Music in the Galleries concerts are a family-friendly introduction to live music. All attendees are welcome to sit, stand, wiggle, and walk through the galleries while listening to music in a way that feels enjoyable.
