Honors: Margaret Marco and Forrest Pierce
In 2009, Forrest Pierce wrote a set of songs for the Kansas City Chamber Orchestra and local soprano Sarah Tannehill Anderson. The premiere of Twelve Kisses was so successful that Bruce Sorrell, the orchestra’s music director, programmed it again last season. Margaret Marco played oboe d’amore on both performances.

Seasons’ Greetings
“Flowers to Frost,” on view in the Chinese paintings gallery at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, is the kind of poetic, revelatory exhibit we have come to expect from Ling-en Lu, the museum’s associate curator of Chinese art. Filled with beguiling paintings, prints, textiles, and works in other media from China, Korea and Japan, the show explores the importance of the seasons in East Asian art and culture.
