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.

Similarly, I feel like Florence Price’s contributions were minimized during her lifetime.”
