University of Baltimore Integrated Arts Program Director Jeffrey Hoover will perform "When Sight Meets Sound," a combination of his own compositions, with pianist Duke Thompson and guitarist Stephen Seidenman, alongside the mixed media of Hoover’s visual artwork. Hoover’s students will read poetry with this blending of new classical music and jazz. The concert will take place on Wednesday, March 27 at 7 p.m. in the Wright Theater in the UB Student Center, 21 W. Mt. Royal Ave.
Both a saxophonist and a composer woodwind player, Hoover also paints. He described his paintings as visual interpretations of music; the audience "can both hear and see the ideas as they unfold on the stage."
