Norton Simon Museum of Art says…

As Jawlensky, Klee and other artists challenged tradition with their unique approaches to portrait painting, composers such as Scriabin and Hindemith experimented in their own creations. Pianist Polli Chambers-Salazar presents a program focusing on selected works from Gaze: Portraiture after Ingres and on the music being composed during the same time period. Dr. Chambers-Salazar performs a variety of piano works from the early 20th century and discusses the interconnections among the artists and composers who transformed the landscape in their respective fields.
