The Symphony of Northwest Arkansas is proud to partner with Arts One Presents and the Fayetteville Public Library for SoNA Beyond: Tone Painting. This unique concert experience will explore the connection between music and visual art. A group of SoNA musicians will play a variety of pieces for chamber wind ensemble while local visual artists David Gomez and Megan Rose will create new works in real-time inspired by the sounds they are hearing. This concert will also include a performance of Charles Gounod’s Petite Symphony with visuals by video artist Romain Erkiletlian. This performance is curated by SoNA Bassoonist Richard Bobo and is sponsored by the Walmart Foundation.

SoNA Beyond: Tone Painting

Blair Library

Join us to hear a SoNA woodwind quintet perform a kid-friendly performance of Carnival of the Animals, with special storytelling and reading by Natalie Fernandez, SoNA Education Director. Carnival of the Animals is a humorous musical work by composer Saint-Saëns; as the name suggests, the music depicts animals across the animal kingdom with frivolity and joy. From the “Royal March of the Lion” to “Wild Donkeys” to “The Swan” this fun, accessible, and engaging music is an ideal introduction for young children to the world of classical music. Whimsical illustrations, an accessible text, and evocative melodies will be enjoyed by all ages!
