An evening of solo violin and Carnegie Hall Premiere compositions. With music directly inspired by paintings, pastels, mixed media, and sculptures from Flanagan's personal collection, the program highlights pieces by the likes of Raffaëlli, Guillaumin, Pinchon, Pissarro, as well as living artists including Paul Gibson, Nikki Vismara, and Elaine Pratt.

Celebrated for his exquisite violin tone and stellar musicianship, Flanagan brings his enthusiasm for music and art to Weill Hall. Created and conceptualized by Flanagan, the program includes two of his own compositions alongside several commissioned works written by 18 celebrated living New Music composers (with intermission). This concert is the centerpiece of Flanagan's tour, taking "The Bow and the Brush" to audiences in the United States and across Europe. Select compositions are included on a critically acclaimed album released on MSR Records, with visual video accompaniment of the art on thebowandthebrush.com. "The intrepid violinist puts on a master class of exemplary technique, insightful interpretations and an immediately felt devotion to canvases of both sound and art." (James Wegg Review)
