Featuring images from the Museum of Fine Arts’ new “Art of the Stage” exhibit, original paintings by TFO’s Visual Artist-in-Residence Geff Strik, dancers from the Tampa City Ballet, and vocalists.

In addition, Garcia's the impending silence, commissioned by The Florida Orchestra and the School of Music at Florida International University.
