Surrealists

I’m quite fortunate that I live in a town that is home to one of the finest museums in the country. I wanted to see Maillol’s Miniatures and Marcel Duchamp Redux at the Norton Simon Museum. The museum often offers live concerts (what more can one ask for?). Violinist Armen Anassian, cellist Garik Terzian and flautist Salpy Kerkonian performed works by Satie, Ravel and Debussy to celebrate the Duchamp exhibit. The music was beautiful and at times intense. I glanced to my left and noticed that just about everyone in the hall was riveted by the performance.
