“noonartsound,” the Library’s popular lecture-concert series that blends musical performance and historical perspective, begins this spring semester on Tuesday, March 4 at noon. This time the subject is “Argentina: Tango in Images and Sound.”

Each session is held in the O’Shaughnessy Room of the O’Shaughnessy-Frey Library, and brings together the talents of Dr. Shelly Nordtorp-Madson, chief curator and member of the clinical faculty in the Department of Art History, and Dr. Chris Kachian, guitarist and professor of music.    For 12 years, they have presented together, dealing with a variety of periods in art, sculpture, painting, costume history and more, and featuring guitar performances of period music spanning 400 years.   Drs Kachian and Nordtorp-Madson are well-known for their unique style and humor, along with beautiful yet “unstuffy” presentations of their art.

Dates for the remainder of the series this spring are:
• April 1: “The Art and Music of the French Baroque Chambre”
• May 6: “Romantica: Spanish Art and Music of 1880-1920”

Bring your lunch if you wish, refreshments will be provided.  For more information, call Julie at 651-962-5014.
