Worth a Thousand Words: The Arts in Photos
On January 10 and 11, internationally recognized balafon player Balla Kouyaté performed at Chapel and held workshops for Blair instrumentalists. Mr. Kouyaté and his band Crocodile River Music perform around the world practicing the ancient art of the balafon.
From January 14 to February 9, multimedia and print artist Tim Fite ’95 displayed his work in The Romano Gallery. The Blair community had the opportunity to chat with Mr. Fite about his work during an artist’s reception on January 17.
Blair’s vocal ensembles performed a diverse repertoire at the Fall Concert in November. Musical numbers ranged from gospel to more contemporary American pieces.
In October, the Blair Academy Players presented The Fantasticks. “Try to Remember,” the show’s opening number, reminds us that “without a hurt, the heart is hollow.”
Blair’s Symphony Orchestra, String Orchestra, Chamber Ensemble and Jazz Ensemble delighted the audience at the Fall Concert. A bluesy version of Richard Rodgers’ “My Funny Valentine” and numbers from Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story were among the performance highlights.
