Valerie Claff, who teaches in the Studio Art Program at Clark University, and Timothy Nolan met in the summer of 1987 at the Studio School of the Aegean on the island of Samos, Greece. For many years they continued to return to Samos to live and create art where they witnessed the growth and development of each other's work. Twenty-two years later they live and work on opposite ends of the United States, but they continue to share an artistic relationship and friendship. "Trajectory" is a show presenting the work of these two artists today. While the work may appear to be very different visually, it is rooted in shared aesthetics, influences and inspiration. Both artists look forward to tracking how the dialogue they shared early in their respective careers continues to manifest itself today.

Haydn at the Keyboard: Four Sonatas from Four Decades - A lecture recital by Sylvia Berry harpsichord, fortepiano
Saturday, 10/24/2009 7:30 PM-9:30 PM
Razzo Hall - Free and open to the public
Haydn is often called the Father of the Symphony, and, perhaps more rightly so, the Father of the String Quartet. However, his great achievements as a composer of keyboard music still remain relatively overlooked. In this presentation, four sonatas from four successive decades will be discussed and performed in order to illustrate that no matter the style (Galant, Sturm und Drang, Classical, or early Romantic), Haydns singular creative stamp is always present.
