Moving into 2017, we look forward with great anticipation to adding to the number of schools, libraries, and family groups that we will be able to share our arts education programs with, in so many ways.

This event should prove to be a light-hearted, informative, and imaginative way for you to sit back and relax, and to get to know us better.

by Matthew Charboneau via NEohioPAL 01 Feb '17

01 Feb '17

This Saturday, February 4th at 4:00pm, Beck Center for the Arts will present a free, special event as part of its current gallery exhibit, Playing the Changes: The Life and Legacy of Milt Hinton This Curator Showcase will feature a presentation by Oberlin Curator, Jeremy Smith, and a music performance by Oberlin Professor, Peter Dominguez who will be playing Milt Hinton's famous ca. 1750 double bass. This event is free and open to the public, and no registration is required. For more information please call 216.521.2540 ext 37, or visit www.beckcenter.org About the exhibit Beck Center for the Arts has partnered with Oberlin College to present a photography installation celebrating the life and legacy of Milt Hinton, one of the most accomplished jazz bassists of the 20th century. In addition to his bass clef mastery, Milt was also an avid photographer who captured over 60,000 images in his lifetime. On display through February 18th, Beck Center will feature in its gallery a traveling exhibit developed by Oberlin College and the Milton J. Hinton Photographic Collection. It combines original photographs by Hinton with insightful materials drawn from the Milton J. and Mona C. Hinton Collection in the Oberlin Conservatory Library's special collections to provide an unrivaled perspective on Milt's life and legacy. About Milt Hinton Milton John Hinton (June 23, 1910 - December 19, 2000) was a legendary bass player and photographer. Over the course of his seven-decade career, he became one of the most recorded bassists in history. He also took tens of thousands of photographs that capture his behind-the-scenes life in music. He socially navigated the evolving expectations of what it meant to be an African-American in the U.S. in the 20th century including his Jim-Crow-era travels with the Cab Calloway Orchestra, and working through the color barrier in New York recording studios during 1950's segregation.
