We're so proud of our Sabina Wohlfeiler, who recently won an award in the Oregon Symphony 2012-13 Photo Contest!! Her beautiful photo was taken on a bike trip to the Gulf Islands.Here's what Sabina says about this picture:
Charles Ives' "Unanswered Question" has long been a favorite of mine. The first time I had an opportunity to hear it performed LIVE was with our wonderful Oregon Symphony. I was spellbound by the beauty of their interpretation.
This image, taken on a recent bicycle trip to the Gulf Islands, has visual elements in it that echo musical elements used by Ives. The landform at the right pierces the stillness on the water much the same way as the trumpet pierces the near silence, stating Ives' "question". The form on the left begins with a small point and grows larger and stronger, becoming the most intense part of the image. This corresponds to the woodwinds' increasingly intense "response" to the question.
I believe that the language of art is universal. Whether stated visually or musically, it is available to everyone!
Well-said, Sabina!
