A Lawrence artist and five Lawrence musicians will be heading to sister city Eutin, Germany, as part of an ongoing cultural exchange between the two cities.

Robert Sudlow, artist and Kansas University professor emeritus of art, will leave next week to open a solo show of 24 of his Kansas landscape paintings at Ostholstein-Museum. John Rodgers, a KU graduate and representative of the U.S. consulate in Hamburg, will introduce Sudlow and recognize the artist's achievements at the opening. The show will run through June 4.

One of Sudlow's paintings, "Winter Radiance," is already on permanent exhibit at the Eutin museum alongside two paintings by Albert Bloch, with whom Sudlow studied. Bloch, a KU art and art history professor who died in 1961, was the only American member of "Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider)," Germany's most important group of 20th-century artists.

In conjunction with the exhibition, Camerata Lawrence will perform a concert June 2 in a castle near the museum. Members of the group are Angela McComas, flute; Eric Williams and Merav Singer, violins, Elena Kraineva, viola, and Michele Bergman, cello.
