“We talk of heaven, we think everything is going to be white. But I believe we’re going to have the beautiful rainbow colors.” – Minnie Evans
Wilmington Symphony Orchestra celebrates Minnie Evans' 129th Birthday! WSYO Chamber ensembles will perform music inspired by her art. Many of her works were inspired by the plants at Airlie Gardens and her compositions were mostly abstractions blending nature with the face of God. Her work is known for highly charged color and meticulous symmetry and is often compared to Buddhist mandala paintings.
The WSO commissioned Algernon “AJ” Robinson to write a piece inspired by Minnie Evans' art. AJ Robinson is a WSYO alum and is currently attending University of Michigan for his master's in music composition. Robinson's commissioned work entitled "Miss Evans' Visions" is written for Pierrot ensemble. A Pierrot ensemble is a musical ensemble comprising flute, clarinet, violin, cello and piano, frequently augmented by the addition of a singer or narrator. The composer was given 5 images of Minnie Evans' art and he chose an untitled work from 1966 of a face surrounded by angels, birds, and a white winged creature.
The Cameron Art Museum will display the artwork that inspired the musical selections being played at this very special event.
