Brad Oldham Scores Commission

By Tim Rogers |

oldhamThe headline works better when you know that this commission for Brad Oldham involves bronzing sheets of music. A score. Get it? Okay, right. If you have to explain the joke, then —

Here’s the deal: Brad Oldham, one half of the duo that brought us Traveling Man, is now working on a piece for longtime DSO donor and subscriber Faye Briggs. Briggs was at the DSO today to go through its library and chose a score that will act as the DNA of a 7-foot sculpture, an artist’s rendering of which you see here.

(Full disclosure: the only reason I’m posting this is so that the next time I play basketball with Brad, he’ll go easy on me. Oh, and I figure the more famous he gets, the more my wife’s engagement ring will be worth.)
