“Colour is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings.
The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul.”
-Wassily Kandinsky

Sonata #5 Project
The Sonata #5 Project is a multidisciplinary classical concert and fine art exhibition. Music and art have historically been influenced by one another. Artists have continually searched for a greater relationship between the two disciplines. Visually depicting the music’s rhythms, structures, and tones, artists like Kandinsky blurred the lines between art and music. Sonata #5 Project engages regional artists to create work inspired by the piece and prompt viewers to examine the relationship between the works and the music. Artists included are Leslye Discont Arian, Justin Brennan, Pat Broughton, Eileen Dorsey, Mark Keffer, Brian P. Matheny, Patricia Zinsmeister Parker, Eric Rippert, and Dante Rodriguez. Composed by Ryan Charles Ramer (Cleveland Arts Prize Verge Fellow 2019), Sonata #5 is performed by Leah Marie Frank on the piano in four movements. This exhibition and performance of the music will be accompanied by an album with images of the artwork included.
Due to the uncertainty of our times, these dates may change.
