MAKE: Music and Nature

For this special version of MAKE, UCI Langson/Orange County Museum of Art (OCMA) is partnering with Pacific Symphony in conjunction with the Beethoven Revolution Festival.

This hands-on art making workshop connects the way the revolutionary Beethoven and visual artists represented in the museum’s collection have taken inspiration from nature’s rhythms, movements, and forms. Participants will listen to Beethoven’s music and create abstract watercolor paintings inspired by the sounds that they hear and the natural environment.

Beethoven’s music will play throughout the day and participants can enjoy a special live presentation by the Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra Octet from 2:30–3 PM introduced by Pacific Symphony Assistant Conductor, Music Director for Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra, Moon Doh.

This free, drop-in program is open to all ages. Families must sit together for the duration of the project, as it may involve components that require adult supervision.
