QUOTES

Our cultural strength has always been derived from our diversity of understanding and experience.

Music has always been transnational;

Things can fall apart, or threaten to, for many reasons, and then there's got to be a leap of faith. Ultimately, when you're at the edge, you have to go forward or backward; if you go forward, you have to jump together.

When you learn something from people, or from a culture, you accept it as a gift, and it is your lifelong commitment to preserve it and build on it.

“When we enlarge our view of the world, we deepen our understanding of our own lives."
