Art & Music – ACMF Summer Festival - August 8, 2026

7 pm – Pre-Concert Talk with Dr. Jordan Burke and composer Liliya Ugay
7:30 pm – Art and Music Concert

Back for a third season, our Art & Music concert returns – with a special pre-concert dinner at Bistro 112.

Art & Music features masterpieces chosen for their evocative imagery and will include the world premiere of our 2026 commissioned composer, Liliya Ugay. This 70-minute program will be amplified by powerfully curated artwork displayed on the big screen, expertly selected by Dr. Jordan Burke.

Join our Pre-Concert Talk at 7 pm to hear Jordan’s insights exploring the visual selections and their connection to the music, and more about the compositional process with our 2026 commissioned composer, Lilya Ugay.

To enhance your evening, choose a special prix-fixe, three-course dinner at Bistro 112, available exclusively for ACMF patrons before the show.
