The event is an interactive art and music project for students in grades 3-8 where the students listen to sound samples of classical music and literally “paint” what they hear.  The students are able to experience the musical selections live with a concert featuring Sinfonia Gulf Coast, and special guest artist this year, violinist Jennifer Koh.
