International Contemporary Ensemble Performs Jennie C. Jones at The Met

How does visual art become sound?

Artist Jennie C. Jones’s fascination with sound manifests in her sculptures, from early works made from audio cables to her 2025 Met Roof Garden Commission, Ensemble, a set of abstract string instruments. For this special performance on October 5 at 2pm, International Contemporary Ensemble brings to life Jones’s “graphic scores,” works on paper that investigate sound through visual means.

Jones and the Ensemble’s Artistic Director, composer and musicologist George Lewis, will also discuss the scores’ formal and sonic structures, which reframe Minimalism’s legacy and illuminate new intersections between music, abstraction, and experimentation.
