The Coast - A Collaboration At BIG ARTS Features Evening of Photography, Music and Poetry.

by Gordon Campbell

The Coast – A Collaboration, an evening of photography, music and poetry featuring Charles Sobczak, a Sanibel writer, and his son, Logan Sobczak, a composer, will take place at BIG ARTS Phillips Gallery Thursday, November 10 at 7:30 p.m. There is a suggested $5 donation at the door.

The evening includes a presentation of some of the best nature photography ever taken. Charles will present spoken prose followed by a composition inspired by that work, and, conversely, Logan will play a piece and Charles will read a poem based on the music. A question-and-answer session with wine and cheese will follow.

          Charles Sobczak is a well-known writer whose works include Six Mornings on Sanibel, Way Under Contract, Living Sanibel – A Nature Guide to Sanibel & Captiva Islands, and, most recently, A Nature Guide to Southwest Florida, which has been chosen as a finalist for the President’s Book Award by the Florida Publisher’s Association.

          Logan Sobczak is a recent graduate of University of Florida. He holds double majors in philosophy and political science and plans to continue his education at the Chicago Art Institue in 2012. He has played piano since he was 12 and started writing original compositions shortly thereafter.
