“When I first came up with the idea

of doing a concert based on fantasy

movies, video games and classical

music ... I had no idea how huge the

response would be,” said symphony

conductor Anne Harrigan. “This

could be our biggest show yet.”

Balbaugh explained, “I’m espe-

cially excited about the ‘Star Trek

Into Darkness’ piece with the ther-

emin. I love this instrument, which

is an electronic musical contraption

controlled without physical contact

by the performer. This is an amazing

opportunity to witness a very unique

instrument.”

Kellogg Community College is

Creek native Jamari Taylor.
Taylor’s solo exhibition, “The 4
L’s,” opened Sept. 9, and will run
through Thursday, Oct. 17, in the
Davidson Visual and Performing
Arts Center’s Eleanor R. and Robert
A. DeVries Gallery, on campus at
450 North Ave. in Battle Creek.
The exhibit is free and open to the
public during regular gallery hours,
which are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays,
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays,
and 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursdays.
An opening reception was held

In her portraits, Taylor seeks to
portray her subjects’ character,
power and strengths by making con-
nections “through the essence of
one’s beauty and inner soul,” she
said in her artist’s statement.
Through this exhibit, she said she
aspires to take viewers on her artistic
journey living through the four L’s:
learn, listen, love and live.

Battle Creek native Jamari Taylor’s exhibition, “The 4 L’s,” will run through
