Bryan Ferry (*1945), musician, founding member, and lead singer of the English band Roxy Music, performed with his band at the Fondation Beyeler on March 17, 2018. After his acoustic set, Ferry spoke with author and art critic Michael Bracewell.

Following the success of Roxy Music in the early 1970s, Ferry launched his solo career in the 1980s. As a former fine arts student, Ferry has since been deeply engaged in the art scene, an avowed art lover, and a collector himself. After the concert, Bryan Ferry conversed with British art critic, author, and long-time friend Michael Bracewell. Bracewell has published several novels, including *Roxy Music: Bryan Ferry, Brian Eno, Art, Ideas and Fashion* (2005).

“An Intimate Evening With” is a concert series presented by the Fondation Beyeler and Bayer. The series features musicians who have shaped pop or rock history and have a personal connection to the visual arts.
