On Thursday, November 12, we present a Small Batch concert featuring Sound and Sight, a suite of modern classical music inspired by the work of prominent American artist Jack Boul written by Roger Tréfousse. Projected images of Boul’s paintings accompany the music, performed by the Faculty Ensemble of the Hayes School of Music at Appalachian State University.

About Jack Boul

Jack Boul (1927–2024) was a prominent Washington, D.C., artist whose work is held in the National Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian, the Phillips Collection, and the Library of Congress, among many other collections.

For years, he taught in the Art Department at American University before retiring to focus on his oil paintings, monotypes, and sculpture. His work consistently garnered acclaim from critics at the Washington Post.

Boul continued to work in his studio until his passing at 97; today, his art remains widely exhibited across the United States, recently inspiring a suite of classical music based on his paintings. Learn more about Jack Boul at jackboul.com.
