JAZZ AT CAM TRIAD FEAT. CHRISTIAN TAMBURR, DOMINICK FARINACCI, AND MICHAEL WARD-BERGMEN THURSDAY, DEC 7 @7 PM |
| TRIAD weaves together diverse musical worlds in an exciting display of musical interplay and visual collaboration. The chamber ensemble pulls influences from jazz, blues, orchestral and the music of Argentina, Brazil and beyond. From Kurt Veil to John Mayer, Astor Piazzolla to Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, Jacques Brel to Puccini and more. TRIAD bridges these musical worlds with three unique musical voices that generally don’t overlap: trumpet, accordion, and marimba.
The ensemble features renowned trumpeter Dominick Farinacci, vibraphonist/marimbaist Christian Tamburr, and accordionist Michael Ward Bergeman who first collaborated for a residency in London’s West End, in collaboration with the New Generation Festival. Learn more. |

Monument takes inspiration from Boundless, the public sculpture on Cameron Art Museum’s grounds by Stephen Hayes honoring the United States Colored Troops (USCT) and their fight for freedom. Through their work, artists Radcliffe Bailey, Sonya Clark, Willie Cole, Stephen Hayes, Juan Logan, Alison Saar, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Kara Walker, and others create a dialogue acknowledging, questioning, and confronting the idea of commemoration in the built environment in the United States. |
| Place of Encounters/ Lugar de Encuentros |
| North Carolina is home to a rich diversity of voices, and this is reflected in its community of Latin American artists.
Work from Lugar de Encuentros / Place of Encounters often straddles two worlds, reflecting both birthplace and resettlement, exploring both tension and harmony in the relationship between the two. Artists include Nico Amortegui, CornelioCampos, Rodrigo Dorfman, Mario Marzan, Renzo Ortega, and Rosalia Torres-Weiner. |
| | Celebrate artistry and light at Cameron Art Museum’s 9th annual artist-made lanterns exhibition, Illumination 2023.

This display marks the transition of the season’s change and the year’s end as we begin our return to light.
