We choose works that can translate to easily to being used on our season brochure, season programs and posters. We look for a connection with the annual theme and this piece becomes the overall season artwork. We then choose pieces that reflect the theme/feel of the individual concerts. Abstract works tend to work well. We also look for different mediums, not just paintings - including ceramics, sculpture, etc. The repertoire has not yet been released to the public but will be noted here once they are available.
