On Wednesday, March 29th, 3D artist, animator and educator Ted Gordon was visiting Rochester and was in the audience for Live from Hochstein.  Brenda Tremblay was hosting that day and the featured artists were the Telos Trio (Rita George Simmons, flute; Debbie Grohman, clarinet; Willie LaFavor, piano). 

Gordon had with him a tablet equipped with a program that allows him to sketch life drawings.  We are honored to share Ted's depictions of Brenda and the Telos Trio here.
