Join us for this Artist Salon, a concert and conversation that explores shared themes between MoAD’s current exhibition UNBOUND: Art, Blackness & the Universe and Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra’s March 2026 concert program Pearls of Sorrow.
MoAD’s Chief of Curatorial Affairs and Public Programs Key-Jo Lee, and GRAMMY-nominated countertenor Reginald Mobley will lead an insightful panel discussion that explores how musicians draw inspiration from visual art (and vice versa).
Mobley will also sing excerpts from the upcoming Pearls of Sorrow program with Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, guiding listeners through the program’s blend of Baroque works and African American spirituals. Keyboardist, composer, and conductor Henry Lebedinsky will accompany Mobley from the keyboard and also join the panel to discuss the orchestral arrangements he has prepared for the Pearls of Sorrow performances.
The evening concludes with a Q&A, offering the audience a chance to engage directly with the artists. Light bites and refreshments will be provided. If you are a ticket holder for any of the three Pearls of Sorrow concerts with Reginald Mobley on March 13-15, 2026 you are eligible for free admission to this program at MoAD.
