Frozen Music - April 10, 2011


These sketches are from a free concert at Chicago's Preston Bradley Center.  I had a free afternoon and was pleasantly surprised by this free concert open to the public.  I felt lucky to have my sketchbook.  Before the music started I was able to sketch the hall which in itself is inspiring.


As I sat the music acts came on and I drew to the music.  The first was a this piece by Joseph Suk.


The next was a piece by Copland.


And the afternoon closed with this Stabat Mater by Pergolesi.

Sitting there and taking it all in, the hall with its frozen music and then the music, I felt I was given a gift.
