Friday, September 20, featuring Beauxregard
Hear a performance by Fort Worth group Beauxregard. They have just released their second album, Ghosts of the Gaslamp. Their first full-length album, Gryphoemia, was an epic rock opera album with a range of styles from turn of the last century tin-pan alley to late 1970s electro-clash post-punk.
Friday, November 15, featuring Vanessa Lively
Austin, Texas based songwriter Vanessa Lively creates an eclectic blend of folk and world music that beautifully joins heartfelt lyrics with soulful vocals. Drawing on a compelling mix of tempos and styles that embrace “hints of urban, world, Latin, funk and pop,” Lively’s songs fully capture her compassionate nature and love of community. In 2012, Lively signed with Continental Records and has since released her latest album in Europe. Margaret Moser of the Austin Chronicle describes Vanessa’s music as "folk music on fire with worldly rhythms and a Latin pulse." Lively was recently named one of the Top 10 Artists of the Year by KUNC in Colorado and one of the Top 12 Artists of the Year by Where The Birds Fly in Germany.
This series is part of the monthly Late Nights at the Dallas Museum of Art program.

Music & Masterpieces, a new interdisciplinary partnership between the Dallas Opera and the Dallas Museum of Art, unites the performing arts with the visual arts in a new and exciting way. Each Music & Masterpieces program includes a performance by world-renowned musicians inspired by the DMA’s special exhibitions or collection, followed by a gallery tour given by a curator or local expert.
