The Art Of The Matter

Peacemakers and the crossroads of America are the themes for Encore Vocal Arts' final two concerts of this season. Sharon Gamble invited John Perkins, the ensemble's Artistic Director, and Tom McTamney, its Executive Director, to talk about the repertoire and special features of these two events. The Metropolitan Youth Orchestra helps youth and families develop life skills through the rehearsal and performance of music. Travis DiNicola spoke with founder and artistic director Betty Ford and MYO alumnus and new associate director Krystal Ford about how they are celebrating their 20th anniversary. The Indianapolis Museum of Art has opened A Gentleman from Indiana: Portraits from the Collection of Booth Tarkington, and Sharon spoke with guest curator Jacquelyn Coutre to learn about his collection.
