Experience the intersection of art and music with Threads of Sound, a unique improvisational performance inspired by the fiber-based artworks in The Subversive Thread. Musicians Robert Hitz and Felicia Harrington will create a dynamic, live musical experience that responds directly to the textures, narratives, and themes of the exhibition.

Guided by the exhibition’s curator, this performance will explore the dialogue between visual and auditory art forms, weaving together an evening of creativity, inspiration, and discovery.

Join us for this one-of-a-kind event that celebrates the power of improvisation and the connections between art, music, and storytelling.

Spaces are limited. Secure your spot and witness how music and fiber art converge in this unforgettable performance.

Robert Hitz is a composer, pianist and master teacher. He is the quintessential modern artist — his music spans genres and influences, and is open to all great musical ideas. Although classically trained at the Peabody Institute and Syracuse University, Robert began playing and composing through improvisation.

“Passion permeates his music — powerful” (L. Billingsly, RSI). Whether in live concert or his recordings, Robert is an engaging and lyrical performer. He has recorded 4 solo CDs and 3 collaborative CDs, and will soon record a collection of new compositions. Robert has received Meet the Composer and ASCAP grants. He is a member of ASCAP, NARAS, and serves on the executive committee of the Society of Peabody Alumni (SPA).

Felicia Harrington is a pianist, composer, accompanist, and music educator who strives to exemplify the most fragile human experiences using only 88 keys. Her music has been praised as “courageous, overwhelming, rhythmic, intense, fiery, and powerful.” She considers music as an extraordinary means to express a range of personal emotions from daily life… triumph, defeat, love, suffering, tranquility, curiosity, loneliness, chaos, joy, beauty, and gratitude… to name a few. Felicia encourages her audience to be vulnerable enough to embrace each of these experiences through music. Beautifully Blemished, Felicia’s first solo piano EP was released in 2016.
