Live Synesthetic Painting Performance
April 23, 2025 7:30pm
April 23 · 7:30 PM
Alexander Kasser Theater, Montclair, NJ
Helena Chywski will perform a live synesthetic painting to Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, as it’s played by the Montclair State University Symphony Orchestra.
Helena experiences synesthesia: a rare neurological condition where the senses intertwine. For her, music is not just sound, but a vivid world of color, texture, and movement. During this performance, she will translate what she sees and feels from the music directly onto canvas in real time.
This will be a deeply personal, emotional, and immersive experience—a fusion of visual art and orchestral sound unlike any other.
