Yousuf Karsh: The Hero of a Thousand Faces through Words and Music

Join us for a festival of music and films presented in conjunction with the exhibit Yousuf Karsh: Regarding Heroes, on display at the USC Fisher Museum of Art from August 19 through November 23. The exhibition celebrates the centenary of the birth of Yousuf Karsh, one of our greatest portrait photographers, whose portrait subjects include such political, social and literary figures as Nelson Mandela, Audrey Hepburn, Winston Churchill and Robert Frost.

Pianist Victoria Kirsch will be joined by fellow USC alumni soprano Shana Blake and bass-baritone Cedric Berry for a program of vocal and instrumental music inspired by the portrait subjects featured in the exhibition. Actor Jamieson K. Price will read excerpts from Karsh's reminiscences of his photography sessions, revealing fascinating and sometimes surprising details about the iconic figures he photographed.
