Classical music is a rare and wonderful thing.
All of these things are present in this wonderfully condensed form of classical music. And keeping this tradition this summation of all these other traditions alive is something I think is so important. And that is what the New World Symphony really stands for. It is an investment in a whole new generation of musicians - an academy for young musicians deeply dedicated to music. Not just playing the notes the dots and dashes of music but understanding what is really being said in that music and how we as individuals can uniquely express and transmit that musical message to a larger world.
