Michigan Technological University HOUGHTON – The Department of Visual and Performing Arts and the Rozsa Center are pleased to announce Denali: Artists Respond to Music Inspired by Wilderness, an exciting collaboration culminating in both a Rozsa Gallery A-Space exhibit “Denali: Artists Respond to Music Inspired by Wilderness,” and a virtual event, “Denali: Music and Art Inspired by Wilderness,” featuring composers and artists, their music, and the art inspired by it. Denali: Artists Respond to Music Inspired by Wilderness exists in the confluence of two languages–music and visual art. It features 18 works of art made in response to original chamber music inspired by composers’ experiences in Denali National Park, in central Alaska. The in-person gallery experience opens in the Rozsa Gallery A-Space on Friday, Jan. 22, and both the live and virtual events will be available through Saturday, April 17. Gallery hours are: Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and 1 to 8 p.m. on Saturdays. The Denali virtual event can be streamed anytime Friday, Jan. 22 to Saturday, April 17, by visiting the Rozsa website at mtu.edu/rozsa. QR codes, posted with each work of art throughout the gallery exhibit, provide links to the related pieces of music by scanning with a QR code reader on a smartphone. Musical scores, program notes, artist statements, and biographies of all project participants will be available both inside the gallery exhibit and digitally as part of the virtual experience.
