Rush Hour Concert, Tuesday, February 25, 2020

Celebrated artists perform chamber music from Baroque to contemporary in the intimate and sumptuous surroundings of J. Pierpont Morgan's Library.

The Chamber Orchestra of New York with Music Director Salvatore Di Vittorio perform a musical program inspired by works in the exhibition City of the Soul: Rome and the Romantics.

Moralized Bible, France, Paris, c. 1227–34, 37.5 x 26.2 cm, MS M.240, fols. 7v and 8r (The Morgan Library & Museum)

It’s not just a façade! The façade of our J. Pierpont Morgan Library building uses a complex ancient Greek building technique that enables the stone to have no visible mortar. The architects, McKim, Mead & White, adapted this technique to account for the variable climate in New York city.

Hendrick Goltzius was one of the greatest Dutch printmakers and draftsmen of the sixteenth century. Our Annette and Oscar de la Renta Assistant Curator of Drawings and Prints Austeja Mackelaite describes his work in detail.

The Morgan will be seen in a new light! An important part of our project to restore the 1906 McKim, Mead, & White-designed library and improve the site surrounding it is a lighting design by New York City-based lighting designer Linnaea Tillett.

In conjunction with the exhibition Uncommon Denominator: Nina Katchadourian at the Morgan, artists, writers, and musicians will respond to works in the exhibition through short performances.
