Building awareness with the universal language of music
​
A series of online events combining performances from the ensemble’s digital archives with current conversations, each anchored by our shared conviction that the more we explore, experience, and understand cultural differences and varying viewpoints as captured in music, the more we honor and celebrate every individual’s right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
