COCKTAILS, DINNER, AUCTION, & DANCING
The Jukebox fall series showcases the intersection between music and art with works inspired by vivid colors, imagery and artwork. The Jukebox Quartet (Brooke Quiggins-Saulnier and Ben Lively, violins, Stefanie Taylor, viola, and John Dunlop, cello) will perform works by Jessie Montgomery, Philip Glass, Benjamin Britten, Javier Alvarez, and more.
Over the duration of the concert, the music will guide and inform a live painting experience with Haitian/Vermont artist Julio Desmont as he creates a new piece of artwork in real time. Curated and hosted by Matt LaRocca. Following the concert, there will be a reception with savory bites, light refreshments, and a chance to mix and mingle with the musicians, Julio, and Matt.
Desmont’s artistic journey began in Haiti in his early childhood observing trogon birds and riding on Taptaps. Later on, he was inspired by Jean Michel Basquiat, Wassily Kandinsky, and Pablo Picasso whose inspirations went back to Africa – as well as the original American painter, Georgia O’Keefe.
