Symphony Spotlight
In honor of Earth Day, we'd like to share pictures of our staff and musicians safely enjoying the outdoors, as well as a poem by Wendell Berry:
“Breathe with unconditional breath
the unconditioned air.
Shun electric wire.
Communicate slowly. Live
a three-dimensioned life;
stay away from screens.
Stay away from anything
that obscures the place it is in.
There are no unsacred places;
there are only sacred places
and desecrated places.”
