“We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.”

― Martin Luther King, Jr.

How Playing Music Affects The Developing Brain

In a few weeks, Teaching Artists of the New York Philharmonic return to schools across the city, partnering with classroom teachers to work with 4,800 young active listeners, players, and composers.

Sophia Music Studio

Pop-Rock Workshop, Mon-Fri (Aug 4-8), 10-2 pm. Led by Sophia Levy (voice & piano), Troy Tyrer (guitar & bass) and John Werthmann (drums). 20 Musicians worked together to produce an awesome show! They all worked really hard and the show was a great success! But the most important thing, they all had a great time at the camp and the concert. It was a lot of fun and definitely an experience that they will never forget! ;-) Great job everyone!!

Fairfax Symphony

Join the Fairfax Symphony on a "journey from darkness to light."

"A symphony must be like the world. It must contain everything." Gustav Mahler Mahler's Symphony No. 5, like much of his symphonic output, has the all-encompassing sense of coming to grips with something universal and magnificent.

Writing to his wife, Alma--quite possibly the inspiration for the symphony's trajectory from mourning to triumph--Mahler wrote:

"Heavens, what is the public to make of this chaos in which new worlds are forever being engendered, only to crumble into ruin the next moment? What are they to say to this primeval music, this foaming, roaring, raging sea of sound, to these dancing stars, to these breathtaking, iridescent, and flashing breakers?"

Click below to hear a little of the finale of this joyous, Everest-like symphonic climb.
