Several Saint Mary Magdalen students were recognized on Thursday, March 3, at Powell Symphony Hall for their artistic interpretations of the Scherzo for Mendelssohn’s Midsummer Nights Dream. Miss Audrey Corby, art teacher at Saint Mary Magdalen, entered the students’ work into the Picture the Music Program through the Saint Louis Symphony.
The Picture the Music Program encourages creativity of students in Kindergarten through 6th grade. The students are to use their artistic interpretations in painting, drawing or coloring in response to a specific selection of symphony music.
After all entries were received, judges reviewed them and the top 100 finalists were chosen. Saint Mary Magdalen students Agatha L., Abigail K., Jacob N., and Colleen D. were chosen in the top 100. Agatha L. received a blue ribbon on her art work, being chosen in the top twenty-five. We are very proud of all of our students. The art work will be part of a traveling exhibition appearing at several locations across the Saint Louis area.
