The concert is the culmination of the “Creativity & Expression in the Arts” class; a semester long class at Berklee College of Music that explores the artistic creative process and its connection between the visual and performing arts forms. Led by Associate Professor Anthony Scibilia, the intent of the class it to workshop two compositions based on selected works of art. Picasso, Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollack and Monet are just some of the artists explored. “I want students to deconstruct the pieces to develop their own personal language,” Scibilia explains, “paintings become the road map.” The performance at the Lilypad will feature the final compositions.
