The mural displays a silhouette image of a violinist, with vibrant colors emanating from the instrument. Next to the painting are the words, “In dedication to Mrs. Felicia Wilson, whose love of music inspired countless students.”

Student Laura Capozzi, who developed the idea for the mural and painted it along with her classmates, signed the illustration at its lower right corner.

Mrs. Wilson taught music at Long Beach High School for 20 years. Just prior to the concert, students shared fond memories of their deeply missed teacher and presented her children and mother with a plaque.
