This evening’s live painting and music event is an experimental collaborative “jazz-like” session between audible, performative, and visual arts. Featuring music by Misha Feigin and Jon Silpayamanant. Painting by Rebecca Norton.

Misha Feigin was born in Moscow. He is known as one of Russia’s premier guitarists. He released two albums on the state label, Melodiya. Misha moved to U.S.A. in 1990 and has toured throughout North America and Europe and has released fourteen CDs in US, Germany, and Holland. He has released two CDs in Great Britain on Leo Records. Misha shared a stage and recorded with Elliot Sharp, Steve Beresford, Dave Liebman, and Eugene Chadbourne. Misha Feigin was born and raised in Moscow

Misha Feigin won the Thomas Merton Prize for Poetry in 2000 and was awarded the Al Smith Fellowship for Creative Nonfiction in 2002. His books include a novel, Searching for Irina, a free style travelogue Tribal Diaries, and four books of poetry, The Last Word in Astronomy, Abraham’s Bagel, Skippers in Training, and Cloud Letters. Misha currently lives in Louisville, Kentucky

Born in Udon Thani, Thailand Jon Silpayamanant is an intercultural multi-instrumentalist, composer, cellist, and music educator based in the greater Louisville and Kentuckiana area.
As a biracial Thai American with musical families on both sides of the world, he has been navigating musical code switching and bimusicality for much of his life and uses that experience to inform his understanding of how music ecosystems interact, hybridize, and create systems of exclusion.

Primarily identified as a painter, Rebecca Norton’s practice to date includes a range of materials and technology. Her explorations into the depths of mathematical intuitions and peak sensory experiences merge in visual imagery, weaving a poetic language that speaks of human existence in a world shaped by emotions and perceptual tricksters.
