A note of optimism….
To listen to the news of the day (I wouldn’t recommend it), it is beginning to feel like everything is gloom and despair, that the world’s economies are sinking into an intractable mire. And what’s more, it seems economics has become the ultimate measure of worth.
But there’s a reason that economics is known as the “dismal science”. The measure of wealth really has very little to do with the measure of meaning. That is why taking time to create music in the midst of such economically challenging times seems to be such an act of optimism.
It is a statement that although the world’s economy is in recession and we are all feeling it at some level, we continue to create beautiful music together at Innsbrook. We are all cutting back to the bare necessities. and what is so wonderful is that music turns out to be one of them.
I can’t imagine a more optimistic message than that.
