Here’s a peek at an original painting by Irina on our team. It is the first of many pieces we've created for this 95th season of Lansing Symphony Orchestra! See you when the season kicks off October 3rd. 👀

Curious about the thought process behind our Enigma Variations design? The artist shared some insights:

“Elgar's Enigma Variations represent his friends, each one portrayed uniquely through the music. He left clues for us to interpret who each variation represents, but there's a deeper meaning too—Elgar spoke of the Enigma as a reflection of loneliness.

In the artwork, Elgar is depicted in the fourteenth and final variation. He's rendered in a darker color, symbolizing the theme of isolation. His arms embrace the figures that represent his friends, the subjects of the other thirteen variations, showing his enduring connection to them. Above him is the figure of his wife, shaded similarly but more muted, symbolizing her passing. While the other figures are bright and vibrant, her muted tones emphasize her absence, yet her presence still hovers above him.”

We love how this design captures the emotion and mystery behind Enigma Variations! What do you think? https://bit.ly/4ecJp5C
