Client: The Oakland Symphony (Arthur Jacobus)

My mother and I were listening to the Bach Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin as performed by Schlomo Mintz. At its conclusion, she said that his violin had "rainbow strings," and this set off a train of thought resulting in this image for the Oakland Symphony. Like many organizations for which I have done posters or other designs over the last generation, the Oakland Symphony is no more. But, the echo of its rainbow strings lives on in our hearts.
