The Painter's Music. The Musician's Art

About a month ago at our Henri Bendel counter, I met a new client named Constance Emmerich. She has been using our lipsticks for over a year and is a big fan of Katrina (who works with me). Constance gave me her CD "The Painter's Music. The Musician's Art." I have been listening since...
It's a beautiful selection of classical notes that is calming and uplifting.

Constance explained the ensemble of the music built around its unusual instrumentation of oboe, string trio and piano. It has receivd two Grammy nominations for its unique colaborative story-telling project, Timeless Tales and Music of our Times.

The CD comes with a fabulous little booklet that shows great art work from four painters:Helen Frankenthaler, David Hockney, Robert Motherwell and Kenneth Noland. They were asked to choose particular works that appealed to them from An die Musik's repertory in celebrating the chamber group's 10th anniversary.

Constance is a graduate of the Julliard School and Smith College, magna cum laude, composer, and receiver of the Merkin Concert Hall Artistic Achievement Award.

The booklet describes how music "gives order and peace", "can transform you to another place", "is like food, consumed every day" (as a source of nourishment).

Music is part of our life every day. It affects our mind, mood and energy. So let's make sure it leaves us smiling.

Thank you, Constance, for a beautiful gift!
