How do art and music come together? When trained musicians see a work of visual art do they associate music with it? Do you? It's time to find out as we dig into the minds of our region's most respected musical artists!

This Fall, the Polk Museum of Art launches its first collaborative exhibition with the Lakeland Symphony Orchestra (LSO). Entitled Pictures at an Exhibition, the show presents art and music pairings, both hand-selected by LSO instrumentalists, along with newly recorded performances by the same musicians who chose them.

In this Member-Exclusive interactive conversation and Q&A, join Alex Rich, Executive Director of the Museum, as he takes your questions and chats with Amy Wiggins, Executive Director of LSO, and LSO musicians about how music connects with art, about famous links between music and art, about the new exhibition and how LSO members selected the works they did, about the Russian inspiration for the show, and so much more. Like music to your ears, you won't want to miss this LIVE discussion.
