Baker & Baker Foundation presents the Art of Music Series

The Baker & Baker Foundation presents the Art of Music series at the Columbia Museum of Art to create a deeper appreciation of collections and exhibitions through music. Inspired by the success of the 2007 Theatre of Vice salon style concerts, the Museum is transforming the Baker & Baker series into Art of Music. The new series aligns to the Museum’s mission by directly connecting performances to the Museum’s collections and exhibitions through an exploration of art, music and cultural history. The Museum is grateful for the Baker family’s generous sponsorship of this program.
