This free program for all ages invites the audience to paint and draw on a cranky scroll while listening to evocativ e violin duos by Bela Bartok and a lush\, picturesque sonata for two violi ns and piano by Darius Milhaud. The program will culminate in the gentle s crolling of the finished cranky\, accompanied by the music that inspired o ur collective art-making.
