Pianist, composer and Steinway Artist Greg Reitan and his trio (Jack Daro, bass, and Dean Koba, drums) present an evening of original compositions and works by notable jazz composers that share thematic connections with artwork in the Norton Simon collections. During the performance, Reitan will explore the relationship between the music performed and works by Helen Frankenthaler, Pablo Picasso, Barbara Hepworth, Constantin Brancusi and others. As the Museum marks its 50th anniversary, this concert honors Norton Simon's belief that great art speaks to universal themes of human expression, whether captured in bronze, paint, or in the case of this performance, jazz. Advance tickets for members will be released August 27. Doors open 30 minutes before program. Advance ticket-holders may check in at the Membership Desk between 12:00 p.m. and 4:45 p.m. to receive a sticker for their seat (seating is not assigned). Everyone must be seated no later than 4:50 p.m. Guests who are not in their seat by 4:50 p.m. may forfeit their ticket.
