Education is a long and slow process, that can never be oversimplified. It requires competent teachers with both passion and patience to spread the seeds and to nurture, but educators is only a part of the entire equation; the public awareness plays an important role in cultivating arts and music.
If you enjoy classical music, don't stop here, we must ensure our children will continue to appreciate these arts. In the present society, many of us have shorter attention span mainly due to the convenience of apps that provide us with instant gratification; many are unable to graps the complexity and depth of classical music / literature / arts; but instead, have mistaken 'chances' or randomness of chaos as the art form.
These outreach programs / lecture series below are non-profit generating, but they are not free, as the materials took time and effort to develop, not to mention to organize and to promote. We need supports, financially or in any other forms.
You can help us by:
1. Hosting the programs, and or,
2. Sponsoring the venue, and or,
3. Sharing this page to friends whom might like to help too.
Thank you very much.
