About the Concert

WomenSing will be joined on stage by its animator, renowned New York-based artist, Kevork Mourad. Throughout the performance, Mourad will create illustrations projected on screen that will evolve and become a live-drawing animation to the music.

 

Kevork Mourad, an artist of Armenian heritage, born in Syria, combines painting with performance art. Mourad's defining style and technique is "spontaneous painting". His unique style gives importance to the process of creating artwork rather than simply the product of the process, thu allowing each audience member to also become involved in the creative process.

 

Mourad collaborates with musical groups creating these live visual performances where his works often corresponding line by line to a musical performance. Collaborators include Yo-Yo Ma, Kim Kashkashian, and the Los Angeles Master Chorale.He has performed in many institutions, including The Art Institute of Chicago, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center Atrium, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Walt Disney Concert Hall. He is a member of Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble and is featured in the film “Music of Strangers” (2016).

This memorable multi-media performance will be for one night only.
