Unleashing Purpose
In the 21st century, we are witnessing an astonishing rate of change within the music world. Certain types of specialized music careers that may have been stable, even lucrative a generation ago now no longer exist. Seemingly permanent institutions of American society like the Metropolitan Opera and Cleveland Orchestra are reimagining themselves at a frenetic pace. Yet, there has been an explosion of creative musical activity online and by self-published individuals in independent studios. As performers, as educators, as scholars, we need to do more than just react to the new society around us.
