As part of Fall for the Arts 2022, guest artist Ben Van Winkle visited Darlington to play some of his original songs on the cello. Van Winkle played sets in Upper School Chapel, middle grades Art Block and hosted a workshop with members of the Upper School Orchestra.
Van Winkle is a musician from Chattanooga, Tenn. He has been playing cello since he was 9 years old and studied under Darlington's own Annie Camp. Van Winkle brings a creative approach to the cello, using unique techniques to create his desired sounds. Though he played solo at Darlington, he often plays with and composes music for a full ensemble of musicians. He released an album with his ensemble entitled "Saunter On" in 2021.
Photos were taken by student photographers Toby Burns ('26), Phineas Pollard ('27) and Ryland Scott ('23).
