All are invited to “noonartsound” in the O’Shaughnessy-Frey Library, Nov 5 – at noon

 “The glittering sights and sounds of Europe’s most beautiful city can sometimes obscure a different kind of beauty –  one that is overly sumptuous, too rich . . . decadent.”                                                                   – Chris Kachian and Shelly Nordtorp-Madson

Next in the “noonartsound” series, “Decadent Vienna in the 1800’s” will be Tuesday, November 5, in the O’Shaughnessy Room (Rm 108) of O’Shaughnessy-Frey Library.

The O’Shaughnessy-Frey Library and St. Thomas faculty members Dr. Shelly Nordtorp-Madson (Art History) and Dr. Chris Kachian (Music) invite the campus community to “noonartsound” – a series of noontime talks on a various periods in art, sculpture, painting, costume history and more – coupled with guitar performances of corresponding period music from the 400 years of history covered by the series.

Nordtorp-Madson and Kachian have been performing these popular lecture-concerts together for over 10 years. The professors are known their unique style and humor, along with beautiful, satisfying, yet “unstuffy” presentations of their art.

Here’s the remaining “noonartsound” schedule through May, 2014.  We hope you will join us!
