Here's another tableau vivant from one of Chaski's videos, which are great to watch when you're iced in. Bring a friend to our Feb. 1 concert to hear flute, bass flute, and Native American flute! www.chaskimusic.com #whistle #chaski40th @flautadita60.bsky.social @shanahipharpy.bsky.social

Whistles come in handy in all kinds of (ahem) situations, magic or otherwise.

Another tableau vivant from a Chaski video, this one with a scene from "Magic Flute" by Marc Chagall, imitated on the right by Adita holding a vertical flute laying on a blue background with blue wings and a white dove with a red tail with the lettering "from Magic Flute by Marc Chagall" and "Magic Whistle by Adrienne Inglis"

I'm so glad this concert happens before the cold front arrives! Savor the sounds of flute/harp music before you snuggle under a pile of blankets at home. @flautadita60.bsky.social @shanahipharpy.bsky.social #chaski40th

One of the many fun things about playing with The Muses is to wear fancy dresses! Here's @shanahipharpy.bsky.social glammed out in this tableau vivant from one of our videos. Catch this glamorous harpist this Fri Jan 23 in Lago Vista or Sun Feb 1 in Oak Branch! #chaski40th @flautadita60.bsky.social

Tableau vivant with fancy lady at the harp! In the painting, the lady has huge curly light brown hair, a satin cream and green striped dress, a carved wooden harp, and music in the background. Shana is in a lovely white tulle dress with a Scottish harp and music in the background.

Florence Beatrice Price (née Smith; April 9, 1887 – June 3, 1953) was an American classical composer, pianist, organist and music teacher. Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, Price was educated at the New England Conservatory of Music, and was active in Chicago from 1927 until her death in 1953. Price is noted as the first African-American woman to be recognized as a symphonic composer, and the first to have a composition played by a major orchestra. Price composed over 300 works: four symphonies, four concertos, as well as choral works, art songs, chamber music and music for solo instruments. In 2009, a substantial collection of her works and papers was found in her abandoned summer home.

Tableau vivant with a painting of a woman dressed in a frilly dress and neck choker with her hand on her forehead, eyes wide open, as she reads a book. Shana creates a wonderful copy of that painting.

In this tableau vivant, Adita imitates the painting Young Woman in White by the Sea by Edwin Austin Abbey. Both are dressed in white with pink ribbons and glove things and a dark pink hat with a lovely background of greenery and water. Well, there's drought in Texas, so not much water there.
