UCO PRESIDENT’S CONCERT
In order to celebrate the inauguration of a new president at University of Central Oklahoma, the symphony - directed by Alexander Mickelthwate - and a hand selected few illustrators recreated a famous event called “Mussorgsky Pictures”.
In the orignal event the composer’s artist friend died, and he wrote a symphony honoring his life, with each piece he wrote representing a specific work of art he had created. He then directed the symphony in the same venue as each art piece was hung in. The concept for our version was to do the opposite of the original event. We got to illustrate and animate based on the music instead and project the results live behind the symphony as they played.
