See the Music, Listen to the Art 
What would a painting sound like if you could play the colors like musical notes? Which instrument would the color purple be? What do you think the color orange sounds like? Join pianist Richard Grayson, master of improvisation and composition, for his enlightening and interactive performance. Stump him with your creative requests and be prepared to be blown away by his visual-electronic pieces written to be both seen and heard. Take the family gallery tour of Color, Myth and Music: Stanton Macdonald-Wright and hear color like you never did before.
