All this good news is invigorating, and I hope you are drawn to support LiveARTS and these other organizations this season. To be a truly profound artistic experience, music requires totally engaged performers, attentive audiences, and generous patrons to make a well-maintained instrument in a beautiful space possible.  

 

As Beethoven once wrote, “There is nothing more beautiful than distributing happiness to many people.”  What carries happiness and delight better than music?  Please attend our concerts, and support music in every way you are able, so that music will inspire us all into the future!
