Past Performances

Our first concert of the series featured musical pieces by Astor Piazzolla, William Grant Still, and Clarice Assad. Based on our exhibition Dressed in History: A Costume Collection Retrospective, each piece was chosen for its connection to fashion history. The evening included dancers from the Joffrey Ballet modeling vintage looks from Freeman’s | Hindman Auctions.
