Music of the late 18th Century, Art of the late 19th Century, October
26, 2008 |
The opening of the fourth season celebrating music and the arts at Gustin House took place on Sunday evening , October 26. Dennis Lanigan showed and discussed ten works from his personal collection representing the 19th century Pre-Raphaelite movement, which promoted a return to earlier artistic practises of complexity in design, detail, and intensity of colour. Four of Saskatoon’s very fine musicians--Alexandra Diederichsen, Gillian Lyons, Karen Reynaud and Gregory Schulte-- performed Mozart’s Symphony No. 38. K. 504 (“Prague”) as arranged for piano and played in ensemble on two pianos, a Gustin Studio tradition.
