Arkansas Repertory Theatre to suspend operations immediately

Guitarist Ed Gerhard's lyricism lands on spellbound ears at The Joint
Gerhard's delivery is au naturale; he sits in a chair atop an elevated riser, surrounds himself with his guitar, his Weissenborn and a few accoutrements - a small mixer, an electronic tuner, a hot microphone and a nail file for mid-show maintenance of the long, acrylic-capped fingernails that double as picks on his right hand.

Painter Barry Thomas channels "Pastorale" at ASO's Beethoven concert

Painter Barry Thomas channels "Pastorale" at ASO's Beethoven concert
The accompanying painting was, by agreement between the artist and the musicians, not predetermined. Structures emerged and then disappeared behind a broad brushstroke, with Thomas pausing between each movement when the music stopped momentarily. It was, as Mann put it, “an immediate result of the sound that he hears. None of us know what it will look like and tomorrow, he’s gonna do it again and it’ll be a completely different painting.”

Florence Price posthumously honored by music teacher's association that once denied her membership

Florence Price posthumously honored by music teacher's association that once denied her membership
“Florence Price was a determined, tremendously talented musician,” pianist Linda Holzer said. “She did not let the discrimination slow her down. She went on to achieve so much as a composer and pianist and organist and teacher. I think about the movie ‘Hidden Figures’ that came out last year about accomplished but hidden women in math and science working behind the scenes at NASA. Similarly, I feel like Florence Price’s contributions were minimized during her lifetime.”
