The Clyfford Still Museum in Denver is opening a multisensory exhibition called "Still in Sound" on May 16, curated by Bailey Placzek and British artist Ben Coleman.

Additionally, the museum commissioned a world-premiere symphony, James Clarke's "Symphony No. 2," which will be performed by the Colorado Symphony at Boettcher Concert Hall on May 7. The program also includes music that inspired Still himself, such as works by Beethoven and Mahler, drawn from the artist's personal record collection.
