Muses | Artists
Leonard Bernstein
“It is the artists of the world, the feelers and the thinkers who will ultimately save us; who can articulate, educate, defy, insist, sing and shout the big dreams.”
Dave Brubeck
“Jazz stands for freedom. It's supposed to be the voice of freedom: Get out there and improvise, and take chances, and don't be a perfectionist - leave that to the classical musicians.”
Dudamel Foundation
“My main goal, and it's a big one, is that every child has a chance to get close to music — as a right. That is, they have access to food, health, and education, and they get the chance to experience art and culture, especially music.”
–Gustavo Dudamel
New York Philharmonic
“That this society is calculated to flourish, and to give a tone to musical taste here, we can well believe, and it has out most fervent wishes as it has our most confident expectations for public sympathy with its objects.”
-First Concert Review in Albion, December 10, 1842
