"The Orchestra" was painted as part of Raffaele Livio Ponti's Music and Art program with the Genesee Symphony Orchestra.
It is Raffaele Livio Ponti's hope that this program will help to encourage and inspire the artistic and emotional expression in humans that is so threatened by the onset of technology. "Music is a wonderful gift to give. It allows the mind, body and soul to travel, bringing dreams to life. Painting a picture with your mind, as the symphony performs some of the repertoires greatest works". Someone once asked Aaron Copland whether he waited for inspiration. He replied, "Every day!"
