"Softness is your superpower until someone uses it to their own advantage. Hardness is your armor until you realize you're alone. So, what do you do? You begin the journey to just right ... recognizing that everything you need to be,
you already are." K.S.

Opening Thursday November 16 5-7pm
I'm a primarily self-taught pastelist who moved to Tennessee in the late autumn of 2020 after decades on the coast of Maine I paint both en plein air and in the studio. My work unabashedly steps away from social commentary. I paint calm. I fall in love with the light and let it define what I'll paint. Because of that emotion I often think of my paintings as intimate portraits of the subject.

The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra presents a program filled with boundless energy. The evening opens with works by two prodigal American composers — Leonard Bernstein with his bombastic and fantastical Overture to Candide and Charles Ives with his lyrical and sentimental Second Symphony, which can only be described as the “musical embodiment of apple pie and cider” by KSO Music Director Aram Demirjian. Rising star Alessio Bax makes his KSO debut with Rachmaninoff’s demanding and powerful Third Piano Concerto.

Aram Demirjian, conductor
Alessio Bax, piano

LEONARD BERNSTEIN: Overture to Candide
CHARLES IVES: Symphony No. 2
SERGEI RACHMANINOFF: Piano Concerto No. 3
