Today, the ensemble remains as vibrant as ever and continues to engage with music lovers through an enriching calendar of concerts, workshops, and educational events. The New York Times has hailed them as “One of the best brass quintets in the world.”</p><p dir="ltr">As Cornell continues to repair King Chapel from derecho damage, this concert will be hosted a short walk from campus at the First Presbyterian Church on First Street NW.</p><p dir="ltr">NOTE: I WAS UNABLE TO ADD THE MV PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH LOCATION BELOW ON THIS FORM</p><p><br></p>

“In(Visible): The Proximity of Illusion and Reality," installation by Cynthia Greig
<ul><li><a href="https://www.cynthiagreig.com/">Michigan artist Cynthia Greig</a>’s installation at Cornell College's Peter Paul Luce Gallery in McWethy Hall will use photography and video to examine the difference between what we see and what we think we see. While we spend our days glancing at the unending stream of images flickering from the palms of our hands—sometimes even coveting another’s life as seen through the lens—Greig embraces the futility of photography to ever truly satisfy as a surrogate for the real. The show runs Jan. 20–March 24, 2023. Gallery hours are Monday - Friday 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. and Sunday 2-4 p.m.</li></ul> 2022-10-03 16:00:00 -0500
