Experience paintings that rock!

Ghici PaintingWhat do you get when you combine great music and great artwork? George Draghici!

Popularly known as "Ghici" (pronounced GHEE-chee), he puts on a unique show. Ghici performs to music while conjuring up original pieces of art before your eyes!

Ghici in actionWe promise that you've never seen anything like it before!

Ghici was born in Bucharest, Romania, where he graduated from the Bucharest University of Fine Arts.

Before emigrating to the United States, he did restorations of Orthodox churches, including the use of frescoes and mosaics.

Draghici paintingNow a resident of San Antonio, Ghici is the leader of a new art form. While music creates the mood, Ghici picks up on the rhythm of the audience, turning it into original paintings that reflect the feeling of the moment.

You'll even have a chance to own one of these unique pieces of art. Immediately before the Marshal Tucker Band takes the stage, Ghici's Founder's Day paintings will be auctioned off.

Don't miss this opportunity to participate in a truly unique experience!
