Sisters celebrate arts heritage with exhibit, concert
 |
In June, the Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa, Wisconsin will celebrate their arts heritage with a visual arts exhibit, opening June 2, and a June 12 concert featuring the Matisse Trio.
The sixth annual Sinsinawa Dominican Heritage Exhibit, “A Sacred Point of View,” will feature a collection of new prints by Sister Rose Marie Conway, OP, entitled “A View from My Window.” Two new copper repousse panels by Sister Chiara Pauloni, OP, and other works from the Sinsinawa Dominican Sisters’ heritage collection also will be displayed. The heritage show opens June 2 and runs through Aug. 8 at Sinsinawa Mound, Sinsinawa, Wisconsin.
A June 12 concert featuring the Matisse Trio will honor all the Sinsinawa Dominican Sisters who have served the congregation, the people of God, and the Church through their gift of music as teachers, conductors, liturgists, composers, musicians, and singers. Sisters Genevieve Pinion, OP, and Mariel Bronson, OP, will be acknowledged for their lifelong contributions. The free concert is at 2 p.m.
The Matisse Trio is composed of members of the music faculty of the University of Iowa and Northwestern University—James Giles on piano, Anthony Arnone on cello, and Katie Wolfe on violin. They will perform the music of Beethoven and Arensky.
