Drapell devoted a full year of preparations for painting on stage at Roy Thomson Hall. He was asked to paint during The Toronto Mendelssohn Choir performance of Leonard Bernstein’s Symphony No. 3 (The Kaddish Symphony) on October 21, 24, and 25, 2002. This meditative work has had a considerable influence on his pallette and expression. Drapell’s concept included four children/assistants dressed in primary colors. Some of the works produced were auctioned off to benefit several educational venues.
