Studio Series: The Art of Repoussé (Part 1 of 2)
Education
Join artist and educator Hollie Ecker for this two-part studio workshop inspired by the special exhibition To the Holy Sepulcher: Treasures from the Terra Sancta Museum. Practice techniques of incising and repoussé (hammering metal from the back) on provided materials to create your own metal-relief artwork.
Before the museum opens to the public, participants will explore historic gold and silver repoussé works in the exhibition, learning about the iconography, materials, and ongoing function of these objects. They will then move to the Frick’s new Ian Wardropper Education Room for hands-on instruction in the specialized tools and methods associated with this millennia-old metalwork technique. This workshop will involve hammering and the use of sharp tools.
Registration is $200 ($160 for Frick members) and includes admission to both sessions, November 12 and 19. This workshop is open to all skill levels, and materials are provided. Space is limited to 15 registrants. If registration is full and you…

Concerts
Three distinguished artists—Andreas Ottensamer, former principal clarinetist of the Berlin Philharmonic; cellist Kian Soltani; and pianist Alessio Bax—join forces in an intimate trio recital. The program opens with Beethoven’s charming and lyrical “Gassenhauer” Trio, followed by a selection of Mendelssohn’s Lieder ohne Worte (Songs without Words), elegantly transcribed for trio. The evening culminates with Brahms’s Clarinet Trio in A Minor, a late work that inventively combines the sonorities of the clarinet, cello, and piano.

Brilliant Histories: Jewelry and Portraiture at the Frick
Education
In this seminar, Geoffrey Ripert, Anne L. Poulet Fellow, will explore representations of jewelry in some of the Frick’s most exquisite portraits, connecting the museum's masterpieces to surviving examples of historical jewels. Master goldsmith and jeweler Donna Distefano will also discuss her work, including an exclusive jewelry line made for the Frick, inspired by portraits in the permanent collection.
Speaker bios:
Geoffrey Ripert, the Frick’s 2024–26 Anne L. Poulet Curatorial Fellow, is Head of Collections at the Domaine de Dampierre-en-Yvelines, the ancestral seat of the Ducs de Luynes.

Precious Legacies: Jewelry in Portraits of The Frick Collection
Education
Geoffrey Ripert, Anne L. Poulet Curatorial Fellow, will explore the history and making of jewels depicted in a selection of exquisite portraits at the Frick, including works by Jan van Eyck, William Hogarth, and Jacques-Louis David. The myriad jewels in these masterpieces—from diamond necklaces, brooches, and earrings to gold watches, rings, and pearl-studded crowns—have hitherto received little scholarly attention. New research drawn from archival sources and recent study will shine a light on the legacies of these precious items, as well as the lives of the people attached to them, including the Fricks themselves.

She will also show a very short film where she plays Franz Kafka. She will answer any questions as forthrightly as she can. Then everyone can have a drink. Or perhaps not as the custom allows.

Sonnambula, Ensemble-in-Residence; ModernMedieval, Vocal Trio
Concerts
Sonnambula continues its 2025–26 season residency with a program that juxtaposes selections from Giulio Caccini’s seminal 1602 collection, Le Nuove Musiche, with instrumental works by Giovanni Bassano. The concert features the world premiere of Secrets by composer Gregory Spears, commissioned by The Frick Collection and inspired by the enigmatic gaze of the sitter in Giovanni Battista Moroni’s Portrait of a Woman (1575) from the collection. Utilizing a blend of modern instruments and Renaissance viols, Secrets explores the capacity of the “sonic gaze” to examine convergences between the imagined sounds of the past and the potential for music of today. We are grateful to Sarah Billinghurst Solomon for sponsoring the new commission by composer Gregory Spears presented at the concert on February 1, 2026.
