* An art project with school age children brought together the MCCSC, the public library and BLEMF. Under the guidance of their art teachers, students listened to a piece of music from the baroque period that was recorded by the Bloomington ensemble, L'AURA. They responded to the music through a visual art medium; a selection of which were on display in the public library atrium during the 2009 Festival.
