#9553_Pre-concert instruments onstage

This one-of-a-kind unframed original pencil and ink drawing was created by New Orleans artist Emilie Rhys on December 9, 2018, prior to the start of a live music performance by Evan Christopher and the Clarinet Road at the New Orleans Jazz Museum.

The artist often arrives early and creates a drawing before the music starts, as a way of warming up creatively, and getting a preview of how the stage, or some other aspect of the setting, will fit on the page.
