I joined Tonality because I believe in its mission. I’m very big on starting hard conversations so we can effect change. I believe Tonality concerts are a way to do that.
This is a diverse group of people with unique musical talents. If we musicians can use our musical powers for good, why shouldn’t we? Be the change you want to see in the world.
Last season, Tonality had the pleasure of performing a piece with the Kronos Quartet. It was a powerful piece about the Black American experience. I’ve been in few situations where everyone was so overcome with emotion that it filled the room. Together we were joyous, frustrated, distraught, angry and empowered in only 75 minutes. I couldn’t help but think, “This is why I do this.”
