Dear Friends,
As we reflect on the past year at Kaufman Music Center, I can’t help but revel in the inspiring musical stories, innovative concerts, and uplifting educational experiences that our community has shared. Each performance, class, and lesson has brought us closer together, weaving a tapestry of creativity and exploration that has enriched our lives and cultivated abundant joy among our students, performing artists, audiences, staff, and supporters.
This year has been particularly special: from soul-stirring concerts as part of Merkin Hall’s Listen Different campaign to new offerings like Pathways that are expanding access at Lucy Moses School to innovative collaborations between trailblazing artists and budding musicians at Special Music School, each event has been a reminder of the power of music and art to uplift people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. These experiences serve as a crucial reminder of the profound joy we can and should continue to foster for ourselves and our communities—and the impact it can have on our lives.
Thank you for being an integral part of this effort.
With gratitude and excitement,
Orli Shaham
Chair, Board of Trustees
