Colden Whitman (1922-2006) Program Book Cover Design 1968 30 x 20... The program book cover design of MSO’s 23rd Season in 1968-1969 was created by local artist Colden Whitman. Whitman, a resident of Carmel for eighty years, was born in St. Louis, Missouri. His family moved to Carmel in 1927. "Coldy" attended Sunset School and Monterey & Carmel High Schools. He served in the South Pacific with the Army Engineers in World War II. He returned to Carmel and established a graphic arts studio. On retiring from 35 years in advertising, he became an enthusiastic water colorist. His paintings were shown both locally and nationally.

First Photograph of the Monterey Symphony Orchestra 1946 9.5 x 5.5 This is the first known photograph of the Monterey County Symphony Orchestra. It features conductors Lorell McCann and John Anderson. The image was used on the 1995-1996 program book covers that honored the 50th anniversary season of MSO.

A beautiful day in Carmel! Just steps away from our office.

My little enclave for the next few weeks on the final frontier of two other commissioned works. To epitomize ‘Alone’ - I took it to the next step. No internet. ...No cellphone - only for breaks to come to the land of the living because so much is closed down here (not that there was that much to begin with) due to COVID. 1k+ acres, a few horses and a rancher. Brought to u by the Big Sur Land Trust. I’m so continually grateful for this partnership w/Monterey Symphony over the years and our continued vision of marrying the beauty of art, nature and conservation into one conversation #montereysymphony #bigsurlandtrust #bigsur #composerinresidence #soloviolinandelectronics #stringorchestraandpercussion #concertoforviolinandorchestra #alone #alonetogether #blessed #nevertaken4granted #jwcomposer #composer4life #composerlife #jw @ Palo Colorado Canyon.
