Ted Nash: The Sound of Art

As part of a two-week stay as SBMA artist in residence and resulting five-day workshop, Grammy Award-winning musician and composer Ted Nash shared insight and experience with a selection of local students and fellow musicians. Continuing in the vein of his album “Portrait in Seven Shades,” in which he responded to MoMA masterpieces, this workshop focused on using improvisation to guide the composition process, and was inspired by works from the Museum’s collection and contemporary special exhibitions—culminating in this free performance.
