2018 Festival Artwork

A Little Night Music

by Shannon Troxler
22″ x 28″ oil on panel

“An evening of chamber music is always an intimate event, a visual feast and symphony for the senses. The barn owl evokes the dreamlike quality of a nocturne. The beating wings capture the movement of the musicians and their instruments. The curve of the cello scroll reminds me of the human form. I wanted this piece to capture the moment of anticipation as the audience awaits, the musicians raise their bows and the music begins.”
