As my little band was forming, Sarah's company was folding. I thought unMet could be the keeper of those talented musicians until another legitimate company came on the scene. To this day there are still very few companies that have dared to put local talent into major roles in anything that resembles a season. So the singers keep leaving. I hope unMet in its small way can make them stay a bit longer, give them a bit of exposure and allow folks in Boston the chance to hear the voices we grow and nurture in our town before they are plucked, packed and shipped off.
Music can still be one of the purest forms of expression on earth.
For the trained professional and seasoned amateur alike, it can transcend race, gender, age and the occasional critic.
