The Outcome
The art gallery VIP event included premier works by modern masters, but I added a special touch. A local classical music composer wrote music for trio of strings that was inspired by one of the artworks. The composer spoke about the history and impact of the drawing and what inspired him in his composition. The trio of strings (who entertained the guests throughout the event) then played this special piece. As a bonus, if that artwork was purchased that evening, the buyer would receive a copy of signed sheet music. (SOLD!)
