Our Mission

A Commitment to Excellence

Music has a unique power to affect the human heart and soul.

Music invites each of us to become fully aware, mindful individuals.

It is our mission to extend the role of music beyond that of its own intrinsic value, using the art of music to bring visibility and expansive thinking to issues of human significance.
