The Well Attends League of American Orchestras Conference

From Bryce Kessler

Last week, I attended the League of American Orchestras conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. Over 1,000 representatives of orchestras, composers, artists, and arts administrators from around the country gathered to learn and exchange ideas about how we can use music to inspire, heal, and transform our communities.

It was so great to see some of our Mindful Music Moments partners from Canton Symphony Orchestra, The Cleveland Orchestra, and Utah Symphony | Utah Opera, and to hear inspiring keynotes from Marin Alsop and Renée Fleming on the urgency for music to be a driving force for health, well-being, and social change during times of great crisis and great opportunity.

Conferences like these continue to inspire me both personally and professionally and I can't wait to grow the impact of The Well to nurture 'a well world' through music and the arts.

Plus I got to hear some amazing performances by the Utah Youth Symphony performing music by Quinn Mason and Clarice Assad, and the Utah Symphony | Utah Opera with Thierry Fischer and violinist Clara-Jumi Kang performing Revueltas, Korngold, Ortiz, and Varèse.
