There’s a voice to be heard in quality art exhibits, ballet performances and concerts. In art shows, each work speaks through expression. In ballet, there’s a story to be told. In concerts, the composer’s voice has a definite effect on mind and mood. I’m told that some people do their best thinking at concerts.
An upcoming Jacksonville State University exhibit will showcase county artists. The “Nutcracker” ballet and the upcoming 74th season of the Knox Concert Series are being planned this month. Each of these has lots to share with us.
