Expressionism: Emotions Unchained

Expressionism is one of the most intense and influential movements in art. Its defining characteristic is the artistic interpretation of the emotions that arise from experiencing daily realities, rather than a portrayal of the realities themselves.

The festival offers a unique integration of pivotal music, visual art, and film of this energetic and vibrant artistic era of unbounded influence. Including four extraordinary evenings with world-leading artists:

Concert: Scriabin and Schönberg
Performed by Dr Robert Taub on piano, Alison Wells, mezzo soprano, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra's Kokoro Ensemble and Mark Forkgen, conductor.

Film: Metropolis
An influential German science-fiction film set in a futuristic city introduced by Dr Robert Taub and Anna Navas, Film Administrator at The Arts Institute.

Talk: Visual Art and Music
With Dr Deborah Lewer, Senior Lecturer in History of Art, University of Glasgow and Dr Robert Taub, Music Director at The Arts Institute.

Concert: Schönberg, Berg and Webern
Performed by the Marmen Quartet and Erika Baikoff, soprano.
