Sudents attended a creativity workshop earlier in the year by ACP instructor April Zay and the PSO’s March 11 world premiere performance of Harvey’s work conducted by Sameer Patel. At the workshop, Zay highlighted visual artists who created works in response to music, and guided the students in their artistic reflections.
The students also had the opportunity to meet Harvey and discuss the styles, characters, and emotions in his short piece “Connecting Again.” Over the course of several weeks, the students gave form to their own creative ideas in writing and visual art.
