In conjunction with the exhibition Jenny Saville: The Anatomy of Painting, Sounds Modern presents a concert of music inspired by Saville’s own stated musical interests; the artist has said that “if anybody were in my studio, they would just be going completely crazy because I can listen to one single piece of music for the whole duration of an artwork or even for a show.” The program includes works by Philip Glass, Jennifer Higdon, David del Tredici, Missy Mazzoli, and Radiohead (arranged by Stephen Lucas), performed by Sarah Ruth Alexander, voice; Daphne Gerling, viola; Stephen Lucas, synthesizer; Sounds Modern director Elizabeth McNutt, flute; Kourtney Newton, cello; Patrick Overturf, percussion; and Shannon Wettstein, piano.
The event starts at 2:00 pm CST on Saturday, December 6, 2025, in the auditorium of the Modern, 3200 Darnell Street, Fort Worth, TX 76107. Admission is free and open to the public; the performance will also be live streamed on the Modern’s YouTube page. You can find complete program information here.
