Classical Tahoe and the Nevada Museum of Art present a one-of-a-kind event during the month of Artown that celebrates art, life, and the bonds of family.

“A Conversation on the Mysteries of Art and Family” is a discussion between acclaimed musician Simone Dinnerstein and her father, visual artist Simon Dinnerstein. Focusing on the intersection of music and the fine arts, the Dinnersteins will explore how art becomes a portal for finding inner and mystical direction. Following this discussion between father and daughter, Simone Dinnerstein will perform selections from Bach’s Goldberg Variations. The evening begins with an intimate reception and exhibition preview. This special event celebrates the opening of The Lasting World: Simon Dinnerstein and The Fulbright Triptych.

This is a benefit event for Classical Tahoe and the Nevada Museum of Art. Tickets must be purchased through the Classical Tahoe website. Sierra Circle members receive a special 20% savings. Contact Chani Knight for details at chani.knight@nevadaart.org or (775) 398-7232.
