  • Create new opportunities for mutually beneficial inter-generational, inter-cultural, and inter-faith exchange
  • Facilitate interdisciplinary communication and bring innovative creative approaches into the fields of arts, healthcare and education
  • Raise public awareness of human creative vitality and musical intelligence
  • Restore music-making into daily life across the generations
  • Promote the health and well being of all whom we serve and the culture-at-large
