In Tonal Conversations, Christopher Zuar and Anne Beal explore the creative dialogue between musical expression and visual perception. Through listening to Christopher compose his music at the piano, Anne creates paintings that will become animations. In crafting the visual music together with other musicians, they create a shared language. The Christopher Zuar Orchestra features 20 musicians, many of whom have been working with Chris for over a decade. The ensemble members are mostly based in NYC and the surrounding region, but their cultural and artistic reach spans the globe.
The ongoing collaboration between Anne and Chris will manifest in multiple artistic outlets and locations. The work can be screened in film festivals as animated short films, in galleries and museums as audio/visual installations, and in concert halls, as evening-length multimedia concerts featuring the Christopher Zuar Orchestra.
