Nancy came to Columbus Ohio,
stayed with me for a wounderous Columbus Symphony Orchestra stint.
She would make her way downtown every day.
1st to gain permission to attend rehersals.
These are closed sessions to the public.
Her past work in both music and art stood as passage
for undertaking this grand project.
Her stories of the beautiful sounds.....
The different sections and instruments,
the authority and respect members have for Maestro Siciliani....

"The Art Of Music" captured by NJC
will stand with me forever as a once in a lifetime opportunity
to live as part of the symphony, see and feel the passion
they have for the string section, the winds, the timpani.....
The Meastro's so important role in flavor and emphasis.....
not to mention, "timing is everything!"

All works shown are charcoal and oil pastels.
