I look at raising funds for The Perlman Music Program as a challenge and as a way to provide opportunities for people who care about the future of classical music.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The type of music we know as classical music began with rich people hiring musicians or owning them in a way. Without funding, it's very hard to have this experience. Be it state money or private money, there has to be someone dedicated to raising the money.
My main focus is to help people through music.
I have a greater goal - to empower young people through music education.
I am optimistic about the future of music.
This isn't about the money. This is just for me. I love music.
Preparing for a future in music is an expensive proposition.
Music has always been my back door to life. It is important for people to find something that excites them. I like the concept that if you do what excites you, you will be rewarded generously, whatever form reward takes, which is not necessarily money.
I was able to turn to classical music many people, who saw my programs live and on YouTube, and this is one of the nicest achievements I can have.
I've dedicated more than 15 years to this theater and television thing; I want to spend the next 10, 15 years or so devoted to music.
I encourage the study of music. And the immersion. 'Cause my life has been so enriched by being involved in music as I have.
