Musical Art Project

Artists give life to old instruments!

An exciting new addition to Una Notte Bella this year, is the Musical Art Project, where Central Wisconsin's most amazing artists were busy this summer reusing instruments that were beyond repair, turning them into pieces of incredible artwork to be auctioned off at Una Notte Bella on Friday, October 24, 2008. Thank you to all of the artists who dedicated both their talent and their time to create this year's masterpiece.

The Wausau Conservatory would like to especially thank Peggy McDowell for her help organizing this project.

The photos on the artist pages were professionally taken by Ellie Hussong, of Expressions Photography. Please visit her website at: expressionsphotostudio.net or call 849-8300.

We also would like to thank Ben Clark (WCM Saxophone student) for editing for this project.
