Lecture and Lunch with guest artist, Damian Stamer who will discuss his series, Angels & Ghosts. Stamer’s distinctive artistic approach combines traditional oil painting techniques with AI imagery. He begins by inputting semi-autobiographical prompts into DALL·E 2. Without any mention of spectral elements, the AI produces images imbued with ethereal, ghostlike qualities that Stamer translates onto linen through meticulous and bold brushwork.

Winners of a 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant and the 2022 Banff International String Quartet Competition, the Isidore String Quartet was formed with a vision to revisit, rediscover, and reinvigorate the repertory. After energizing a packed Robison Hall during their Middlebury debut last season, we’re thrilled to welcome them back with the world premiere of composer/pianist Billy Childs’ Quartet No. 4, written expressly for them. This new work will be paired with arrangements of Bach and Brahms by the quartet’s violist Devin Moore, plus Dvorák’s Opus 106 quartet.
