Music is the quintessential vehicle for modern philosophy, a poetic gateway into our deepest existential truths and most sincere beliefs. Add in the visual treat of superb art direction, and you’ve got a powerhouse of cerebral-creative indulgence. Music changes people’s lives. For some it is an expressive outlet. For others it is a way to stay focused on the everyday. It develops the brain and complements other intellectual and creative pursuits. It is a way for community to gather and share at concerts and shows, family events, and community gatherings. This creates a positive artistic synergy, which not only enhances students’ musical skills, but makes for a nurturing and enlightening experience for all. Track 9, Timoun jodi :: A HUGE THANK YOU to Gueldy Rene and everyone in the States who helped to fund this amazing program, and be a part of inspiring our students to learn the beauty of music as a language—to communicate and connect with themselves and their communities through the enjoyment of this dynamic art form.
