EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage poster announces a musical event presented by The Athletic & Recreation Department of Nassau-Suffolk WPA, featuring guest artist Jeanne Gordon, a talented soprano, and conductor Christos Vrionides leading the Symphony Orchestra in a program of popular and semi-classic music. The concert took place at the Post Gym at Mitchel Field between 1936 and 1941. During this era, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) played a significant role in providing employment and cultural opportunities for Americans during the Great Depression. The Nassau-Suffolk WPA, specifically, focused on improving community facilities and promoting recreational activities. This concert was part of their efforts to enrich the lives of local residents through the arts. Jeanne Gordon's captivating presence and powerful voice are showcased in this advertisement, which also highlights the expertise of conductor Christos Vrionides. The Symphony Orchestra's performance promised an enjoyable and diverse musical experience, with a repertoire that included both popular and classical pieces. The poster's design is reminiscent of the Art Deco style, which was popular during this time period. Its bold typography and dynamic use of color effectively convey the excitement and anticipation surrounding the event. This historical artifact offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the community spirit and cultural vibrancy that thrived during the WPA era.
