Places of belonging and sanctuary.
ALT A band is more than a band. A choir is more than a choir. An orchestra is more than an orchestra. Every music ensemble is more than a music ensemble. Music ensembles are places of belonging and places of sanctuary. Places where you can momentarily escape the world and recharge.

#Culture : la nécessité de promouvoir et de vulgariser l'art lyrique de l'opéra sur la scène musicale en République démocratique du Congo (RDC), afin de démystifier certains stéréotypes sur la perception erronée qui réserve uniquement cet art aux cultures occidentales, a été évoquée par une artiste lyrique congolaise dans une interview accordée mercredi à l'ACP.
"Mon plaidoyer vise à diversifier l’offre culturelle nationale et à positionner la République démocratique du Congo comme un acteur majeur de l’art lyrique sur le continent africain, car la musique d'opéra n’a sincèrement aucune place chez nous parce qu’elle est méconnue et mal vulgarisée, malgré nos efforts constants. (...) La musique n'a pas de couleur, ni de race, l’Opéra est un art universel. Je plaide pour que cet art soit intégré comme il se doit dans le programme du ministère de la Culture afin de lui offrir une plateforme institutionnelle solide", a déclaré l'artiste lyrique Dorcas Nende.

Put them in a music ensemble.
ALT Want young people to work together? Put them in a music ensemble. Want them to listen to each other? Put them in a music ensemble. Want them to learn the importance of personal responsibility? Put them in a music ensemble. Want them to connect? Put them in a music ensemble.

"Lorsqu'une personne chante ou joue dans un ensemble musical, elle n'est plus jamais la même. Une fois qu'on a goûté à la joie de faire de la musique avec d'autres... à la joie de grandir et de s'exprimer avec d'autres, on ne peut plus revenir en arrière."🎶🎷🎺🪈🎸🎵🎻🥲😀
There’s nothing like it.
ALT When someone sings or plays in a music ensemble, they’re never the same again. Once you’ve experienced the joy of making music with others, the joy of connecting with others, and the joy of growing and expressing with others, there’s just no turning back. There’s nothing like it.

Sing, sing, sing. Sing by yourself. Sing with your family. Sing with your friends. Sing in a choir. Sing in the car. Sing in the shower. Don’t let anyone stop you from singing, or tell you that you shouldn’t sing. Your voice is yours. Use it. Enjoy it. Sing, sing, sing.

A new chapter 🇨🇩 On Thursday, our first-ever graduates walked out of the school gates with a diploma in their pocket and a dream in their heart, having truly rewritten the narrative of what it means to be a girl in rural DRC.
Proud is an understatement ❤️ #MalaikaClassOf23

When you provide music you provide countless young people with a chance to shine in ways they wouldn’t otherwise have had. Every young person deserves a chance to shine, and every young person deserves an education with music right at the heart of it. That’s what they deserve.

Ever wonder about those sleek black string instruments we take on our water excursion? They're carbon fiber instruments made for adventure!
They'll be using them again during our High Water week (June 9-17).

“I would rather commission two new pieces from New Jersey composers than spend the money to go to Carnegie Hall,” [CEO] van Aalst said. “That’s actually driving the art form forward; that’s actually celebrating the orchestra.” nytimes.com/2023/06/05/arts/…

Its most defining features?
What's key about each country?

Last week, 1,400 students & chaperones attended the final dress rehearsal of Puccini's La Bohème at the Met. A Queens HS student's review says it all: "Amazing to hear everything so clearly, both the voices and the music. The stage was perfect for each scene." We agree!
