“We are delighted to continue working with the creative and vibrant WMI community this year and especially to welcome families and students back into the halls for this month’s concerts,” said the Music Institute, in an official press statement. Offerings feature a wide range of musical traditions and art forms, including classical music, jazz, hip-hop, and more, reflecting the hall’s diverse programming history on stage and engaging people with highly meaningful educational opportunities. We support the innate creativity of people of all ages through programs in New York City and beyond in a variety of settings, including schools, hospitals, correctional facilities, community centers and homeless shelters. We believe that everyone has the ability to be an artist, and how music and the arts are a way for people to express themselves and speak up. I often witness it firsthand.”
