Horsetails Project 2010 at LV Harkness
HORSETAILSTM 2010 Project at LV Harkness is without question one amazing concept! Developed to recognize and honour the relationship between orchestral music and the horse, and increase funding for music education programs for children. Fifty-two artists from around the country were chosen and each given small replicas of a violin and bow. Each artist was assigned an ‘unforgettable, beloved horse’ and has created a work of art representing their assigned horse. There are now fifty-four works of art that make up HORSETAILS 2010TM. The Lexington Philharmonic will auction the HORSETAILSTM 2010 works of art during the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian GamesTM.
We take so many things for granted in life, such as string instruments relying on horse tail hair to produce sound as the bow moves across the strings! HORSETAILSTM is a unuqie, artistic and philanthropic way of getting the community involved in giving back. The All proceeds go to the Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra’s Partners in Education, a program benefiting children of Kentucky through music education.
