2014 CMS Solo Exhibition

Ye Olde Photographer had the good fortune to be invited to hold a solo exhibition in the gallery at Community Music School in Trappe, Pa. during the month of February 2014. He constrained himself to only Black&White, film-based darkroom prints.

Being it was in a music school, YOP thought it might be fun to indulge in some photos of music related subjects. That was not all that difficult, as he is surrounded by an assortment of diverse un- and poorly-played instruments! The prints were kept small and framed in smaller format to permit making a purchase more affordable. These were added to a mix of shots from the past three or so years, as well as one just out of the camera a couple of weeks before delivery.

The evening opening on February 8 was a lead-in for a concert by singers from the Academy of Vocal Arts. The AVA is a Philadelphia institution that offers post-graduate studies and career guidance, tuition free. The singers are selected by audition from applicants around the world. As such, the performances are of very high caliber, awesome to hear (and see!) It was a fine evening.

As a result of a misfortune suffered by the artist whose work was supposed to follow this exhibit in March, Ye Olde Photographer's exhibit was extended until the end of March. As such, there was an opportunity to experience another reception on Sunday afternoon, March 16. For the concert following, we were treated to a brief performance of Irish dance (well it was the day before St. Paddy's day!) The dancers were students from the Trappe Studio of the McDade-Cara School of Irish Dance which is just a few blocks east of the the gallery location. Music for the dancers was provided quite nicely by some students from Community Music School. That was followed with a concert by Trio Galilei, featuring an assortment of music including Early, Celtic and some original works with a Swedish tune or two worked in. The performance used fiddle or guitar, harp and viol da gamba which worked very well in the bright acoustics of this relatively intimate recital space.
