Nine acoustic concerts enliven the galleries. Performed by different John Zorn ensembles, these short concerts pair Zorn’s compositions and improvisations with pieces from the Walker’s collection selected by the composer, including works by Jasper Johns, Agnes Martin, Joan Mitchell, Yoko Ono, Robert Rauschenberg, and James Turrell.
All performances are free with paid gallery admission.
Due to the fluid nature of this event, space in the galleries is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
