A poster I created for a special New Year's Eve classical music concert, focused on the works of Mozart. I drew my inspiration from 18th century fashion, and chose the crystal pieces to give it a more festive feel. The pose of the characters if from a menuet, a very popular dance at that time.

These are the first ideas I sketched out. One possibility was inspired by The Swing, by Fragonard, as well from bucolic garden scenes (very popular in the 18th century) as well as theater and mobile stage decor from that time.
