Description
Philosophy instructor MAJ Alex Weis and USMA Band member SFC Sam Kaestner, in conjunction with the West Point Woodwind Quintet plus piano, collaborated on the “Evolution of Beauty” evening lecture on 5 April in Jefferson Hall’s Haig Room.  Encouraging cadets to think associatively and innovatively, the event illustrated how art and music from Neoclassical, Impressionism and Abstract Expressionism traditions can facilitate and complement the exploration of larger philosophical ideas.
