My good friend, Sandy Ohlgren, has lived for many years in New Mexico, and I knew from occasional correspondence that she was part of an artists group which recently had a successful showing in Albuquerque. She is on my mailing list for items about the Minnesota Orchestra.
A few days ago she sent me a simple phone-scan of one of her works, which appears above and was inspired by the musicians of the Minnesota Orchestra and those who support them.
Sandy has more than ordinary familiarity with the Orchestra from many years residence in the Twin Cities.
The work of art speaks for itself, and is thus presented without comment.
It is shared with Sandy’s permission.
Let’s work together for a great New Year in music with the Minnesota Orchestra.
The Musicians website is here.
The Outside the Walls Minnesota Orchestra “filing cabinet” is here.
