Remembering back to our with The Philadelphia Orchestra! We celebrate our Earth by linking classical composers from the past who cared about with causes we care about today. Guess what?! Debussy cared about the sea just like us. Classical music + change. 🌏 🎶 💪.

“There is nothing more musical than a sunset.” - Debussy ☀️.
Debussy read the “book of nature” and most of his music is an ode to its beauty.
Our game is a good time - it humanizes classical composers because they’re just like us and we use their voice for change because we all speak the same language✊.

The arts are vital for society. Access to the arts is integral for our nation’s health & wellness, diversity & inclusion, education & development, economic growth, community cohesion, environment & sustainability, and activism - research from Americans for the Arts shows statistics of these impact areas. A consideration for the above and a passion for the arts was the basis on which I founded and the reason I devoted the last year and a half of life to this company; it’s the very thing driving me to the polls after work!
Check out ‘ online survey to see how your candidates support the arts before you cast your vote. 🎭
This, here, is ‘ daughter, Clare. The arts help young people like her grow in so many empowering ways! Let’s keep the arts funded so your kids can have these same experiences that I had and Clare is enjoying in this pic her mom took.

Smarty pants Curtis Institute of Music find the voice for change in Tchaikovsky! It's worth noting--with an accent on top of this note (!)--that these best-of-the-best performers were able to step away from analyzing the piece and just have fun with it. So the key to take away from this music talk (I know, I know, I gotta stop with the Dad jokes) is that ANY human being, musician or not, can feel the classical composer behind his music with the guidance of our ConductActivists. And yeah, classical music has this stigma that it's an art form reserved for the highly educated and affluent folk, but who says it has to stay that way?! We're breaking norms and making composers current in today's social climate. JOIN US THIS THURSDAY at 7:30pm at City Hall to follow the action!
