George Crumb, composer with competition winners
George Crumb (chairman of the jury) of the 1999 Dimitris Mitropoulos International Competition for Composing
A color scene shows four people standing side by side at an indoor event. Two people in the center have their arms around each other, while the person on the far left holds a framed plaque and the person in the center-right holds a rectangular award. The person on the far right is wearing glasses and a suit with a patterned tie. Wood paneling and rows of seating are visible in the background, suggesting an auditorium or performance venue.
New Percussion Quartet at Second Festival of the Arts
A black-and-white scene shows two percussionists performing on a stage with a variety of percussion instruments. One person sits near a table holding small percussion items, while another stands at a set of timpani on the right. Additional drums, cymbals, music stands, and percussion equipment are arranged around them, with speakers and other stage equipment visible in the background. A copyright watermark appears across the center of the image.
Views of the brain from multiple angles with portions of the hemispheres removed to reveal internal structures. In the superior view, gyri and sulci are visible with colored pins marking regions around the thalamus and midline structures. The lateral views of the left and right hemispheres expose the cerebellum and brainstem, with pins placed near the midbrain, cortical surface, and surrounding the thalamus. A large purple pin highlights the thalamus, while additional green, blue, and yellow pins mark nearby regions.

Sagittal sections of the brain viewed from the left side, showing the midline with the corpus callosum arching above the thalamus. Multiple pins highlight key internal regions, including the thalamus (marked with a large purple pin), brainstem, midbrain, and corpus callosum. The folded cortical surface of the left hemisphere is also visible.
Sagittal sections of the right hemisphere with deeper cuts exposing internal details. Colored pins mark structures within the thalamus, hypothalamus, corpus callosum, midbrain, and brainstem, while the outer edge shows the cortical folds of the cerebrum.
Caudate, internal capsule, corticospinal fibers
Sagittal sections of the left hemisphere showing the corpus callosum arching above the thalamus, with multiple colored pins marking internal regions including the thalamus, brainstem, adjacent cortical areas, and portions of the cerebellum.
Coronal and lateral views of the brain highlighting internal structures. In the coronal sections, both hemispheres and the central ventricles are visible, with pins marking the thalamus, basal ganglia, and surrounding white matter tracts. The lateral view shows the corpus callosum and midline structures dissected, with purple pins marking its upper and lower ends, and the cerebellum visible at the back.
Sagittal and lateral views of the brain with deep cuts exposing midline structures. The corpus callosum is prominently shown, with purple pins marking its ends and additional green pins identifying regions along the midline. Pins also highlight the thalamus, hypothalamus, and brainstem, while the cerebellum is visible beneath the occipital lobe at the lower right.
A white anatomical model of the human brainstem and cerebellum is viewed from the front. The model includes detailed structures such as the pons, medulla oblongata, and cerebellar hemispheres. Colored pins—orange, purple, green, and blue—are placed at specific locations to mark anatomical areas. The background is completely black.
Two views of a human brain model are shown. The first image presents a lateral view with colored pins—green, yellow, and red—marking specific surface locations. The second image shows a medial view with similar colored pins indicating internal regions. These views highlight anatomical landmarks for study.
Three views of a dissected human brain in cross-section are displayed. The first image shows a lateral view with visible gyri and sulci patterns. The second image presents a similar lateral perspective from a slightly different angle, revealing white matter tracts. The third image focuses on deeper internal brain structures.
A model of a human brain is displayed against a black background. Various colored pins—white, green, blue, orange, and yellow—are inserted into different regions of the brain, likely marking specific anatomical areas for educational or research purposes.
An anatomical model of a human brain is shown, focusing on the cerebellum and brainstem. The model is white and features multiple colored pins placed at various points to indicate specific anatomical structures. A black background provides contrast, making the details and markers clearly visible.
A white anatomical model of the human brainstem is displayed against a black background. Multiple colored pins are inserted at various points on the model to mark anatomical landmarks. The images show the model from different angles to highlight structural details and pin placements.
A dissected human brain is displayed with colored pins marking specific anatomical regions. One view shows the brain divided into two hemispheres, while another includes both the cerebrum and cerebellum. The pins are placed to indicate key structures for educational or anatomical reference.
The underside of a dissected human brain is shown, revealing structures such as the cerebellum and brainstem. Colored pins are placed on various areas to indicate anatomical features. The views differ slightly in dissection details but both focus on the inferior perspective of the brain.
A detailed anatomical model of the human brain is displayed, showing the folds and grooves of the cerebral cortex. Multiple colored pins, including yellow, red, green, blue, and purple, are inserted into different regions to indicate anatomical points of interest.
A human brain specimen viewed from the left side with colored pins marking various anatomical locations. The cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem are visible.
