Art inspired by music. Music inspired by art.
We know that artists can take emotions and atmospheres evoked by sound and interpret them into something visual, as can composers recreate with sound, images from a canvas or other form of visual art. The possibilities are endless… The Culture Show continues to make connections between these two art forms.

For more than a century, visual artists have been inspired to expand their artistic practices by engaging in compelling collaborations with the ballet, theater, and opera. The Culture Show has been honing in on many of them in the past months - in particular, productions of the Ballets Russes under the direction of Diaghilev in the early part of the 20th century. On this programme we revisit Chagall, but the company has changed.
The history of painters and sculptors designing sets and costumes for opera and dance is exceptionally rich. We’ve learned that over the course of a few months by exploring Diaghilev and his Ballets Russes who brought together Darius Milhaud, Coco Chanel, Jean Cocteau, and Bronislava Nijinska with Pablo Picasso. Countless others followed. In the 21st century we can include visual artist Tacita Dean.
Her collaboration with choreographer Wayne McGregor and composer Thomas Adès on The Dante Project is a part of the lineage previously mentioned. This episode focuses on 'Dante' and its creators.

Would you like to know why Finland is the happiest country in the world; why it has produced, and is producing, an abundance of conductors all in great demand; why it has an astounding number of summer festivals; why it’s not just about sauna and aurora? My guest for The Culture Show in August is the Consul General of Finland in Hong Kong and Macau, Mr. Timo Kantola, and he has all the answers. From fantastic Finnish films to fabulous Finnish tango; Symbolist art to Savonlinna opera, we’ve got Finland’s arts and culture scene covered!
In this first programme we will get a feel for what it's like to be Finnish and what it's like to live in Finland. We find out what the Consulate does to nurture this understanding through arts and culture, and briefly explore its visual arts.
