Music in the Galleries: Gregory Walker, violin

Join us for a classical Sunday afternoon featuring violinist Gregory Walker. 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.

This event will include two identical concerts at noon and 1 p.m.   Performances are included with museum admission.  For tickets purchased online, FCM patrons receive $2 off adult and senior tickets with code MUSIC.  Visit www.clyffordstillmuseum.org for tickets.

Seating is limited and first come, first served. The music may be enjoyed from any gallery.
