CSO MusicNOW

Celebrate the 25th season of CSO MusicNOW with one-of-a-kind artwork designed by local artist Donovan Foote.


From the Artist —

CSO MusicNOW’s 25th season is about lineage. During the design process, we discussed the past’s influence on the present and sources of inspiration, which led to the use of collage. By taking something already in existence and then reshaping it into a new idea, collage is the perfect visual metaphor for lineage. Each element was created or assembled by hand, as is typical of collage, and the final images were all produced digitally to allow for new arrangements over and over again, echoing music and its ability to take on new meanings as it is performed by different musicians over time. Each design reflects the composers and performers of the individual concert and serves as a conversation with the other designs in the series.
