Optimism blooms for Pinellas Trail activation in St. Pete

Several St. Petersburg stakeholders have long advocated for increased activation along a vastly underutilized local asset - the Pinellas Trail. A project’s recent approval has provided momentum. 

Business and civic leaders coalesced around a literal and figurative grassroots initiative Tuesday at the St. Petersburg Downtown Partnership’s Developer’s Council meeting. Many members recently toured the High Line in New York City, a public park built on an elevated, historic freight line.

Orchestra offers an ‘Exhibition’ of music, words and pictures

Whatever inspired a composer to create a grand piece of music – love, life, nature, God or man’s inhumanity to man – is woven into the notes and the arrangement. The listener does not necessary need to know the source of the inspiration, only how the music washes over them and makes them feel.

Sometimes, as in the case of Pictures at An Exhibition by the Russian composer Modest Mussorsgsky (1839-1881), the inspiration is right there in the name. This 10-movement piece, performed this weekend by The Florida Orchestra, sprang from Mussorsgsky’s impressions of paintings and drawings by his friend, artist Viktor Hartmann.
