Robin C. Dietrick, MMA Curator of Exhibitions, presents an illustrated lecture of Hollingsworth’s art and life. Hunter Cole reads Eudora Welty’s essay, “On William Hollingsworth, Jr.” Marta Szlubowska, who is concert master of the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra, and the Ensemble Polonaise perform music by Beethoven, one of Hollingsworth’s favorite composers.
