Corrinne Chong, an independent curator based in Toronto, Canada, will explore the fascinating correspondences between visual art and music in 19th-century Paris, where the boundaries between painting and composition blurred. From Jules Pasdeloup’s Concerts Populaires to Mallarmé’s Mardis (Tuesday salons), journey through the concert halls and intimate gatherings where Claude Monet and his contemporaries encountered the musical world. Discover how artists, musicians, poets, and critics developed a shared vocabulary of abstraction, using terms such as les sons et les tons (sounds and tones) to bridge the visual and auditory arts, encouraging audiences to embrace increasingly evocative and impressionistic approaches in both media. This talk will engage art lovers, music enthusiasts, and anyone curious about the creative cross-currents that shaped modern artistic expression. Registration required: amam.oberlin.edu/web-dec
