Art of Elan: Season 12, called "Ways of Listening," explores the various ways we both listen to and process the world around us. The title is a play on the seminal 1970s book and BBC series Ways of Seeing, which looked at new ways to view visual art. The final concert of the season draws inspiration from the thought-provoking "Homage to the Square: on Dry Ground" by Bauhaus artist Josef Albers. The simple, yet spiritually uplifting artwork reminds us of the inherent beauty in everyday shapes, colors and sounds, with musical works by J.S. Bach, François Couperin, Osvaldo Golijov, Arvo Pärt, Kevin Puts, and David Lang.
