We stand in solidarity against the inequitable treatment and oppression of the Black community.

Let us learn from our wrongs.
Let us recompense and make right.
Let us make this a better place.

Love seeing music education persevere even in these tough times

[PROJECT MUSIC @ProjectMusicCT]

It is a joy to see these young musicians in our daily videoconferences! Although the technology is not yet strong enough to have online band rehearsals, just the chance to see each other and talk about music and life every afternoon gives a valuable bit of normalcy in our days.

This is for the healthcare workers on the frontlines — the Sarabande from Bach’s Cello Suite No. 3. Your ability to balance human connection and scientific truth in service of us all gives me hope. #songsofcomfort
