THE South Side Symphony Orchestra is set to boldly marry the mediums of music and painting at an eclectic performance.
The orchestra is collaborating with art group Shared Palette, comprising artists Felicia Lowe, Caroline Muscat and Lyn Isted, to present a unique performance at Woodloes Homestead on Sunday.
While the orchestra recites the works of composers like Shostakovich, Smetana and Handel, the artists will use the music as inspiration, painting to the sound of the orchestra in front of the audience’s eyes.

“Matila Ghyka said that music always inspired artists,” she said.
“Art in turn inspires creativity in music.”

The artworks created by Shared Palette will be auctioned at the end of the performance.
Tickets are $20 adults, $15 concession, $5 children aged six to 16 years and free for those under six.
