MAGRITTE AND THE TUBA
Clouds, pipes, bowler hats, green apples and tubas: these remain some of the most immediately recognisable icons of René Magritte, the Belgian painter and well-known Surrealist. This week we focus on the tuba in Magritte’s work – in particular, The Central Story (1927), Threatening Weather (1928) and The Discovery of Fire (1935). We’ll hear music written for the instrument by Sophia Gubaidulina, her ‘Lamento’, Widening Circles by Joshua William Mills and Asha Srinivasan’s Dyadic Affinities.

We are back to exploring connections between music and art and in this episode we do that through the works of Czech artist František Kupka connected to J.S. Bach. Kupka had an important part in proliferating abstraction at the beginning of the 20th century and his search for a new artistic language that could transmit intensity and musicality through colours and shapes, made him a true innovator within abstraction.
