Life is a Journey Through Time:  Works of Frans Lanting
A student art exhibition inspired by nature, in conjunction with the BSO

news
news

Students from Baltimore County Publics schools joined with students from Anne Arundel County Schools to exhibit works inspired by nature and the photographic works of Fans Lanting.

Special thanks to the team at Pikesville Middle for working together as a school to develop arts integrated lessons to inspire student learning (pictured with Frans Lanting and Maestro Marin Alsop).

Thanks  to James Gordon, Parkville High (pictured with his teacher Ryan Twenty), for the invitation art.

Dear friends of Baltimore Symphony Orchestra: the opening of the Student Art Exhibit, yesterday, was beyond everyone’s expectation and so completely captivated Frans Lanting and Marin Alsop.  It was also a wonderful example of what teamwork and inspiration can accomplish.  Please accept my sincere gratitude to each of you for all that you did to make this event happen. The quality of the work was outstanding – Marin and Franz were talking about it today with students from Johns Hopkins. Please extend our sincere thanks to all of the students and teachers who participated in this project.

If this can be accomplished, it is rather exciting to think of what else we might do that is creative and innovative to engage our children. I look forward to working with you again.
