We are a music making species, always have been, always will be, and music's capacity to explore, express and address what it is to be human remains one of our greatest communal gifts. - Clemency Burton-Hill

A soul that longs for peace out of the world's unrest and has itself already tasted peace allows others to share its experience in this music.. Bach is thus a terminal point. Nothing comes from him; everything merely leads up to him... This genius was not an individual, but a collective soul. - Alberta Scheweitzer

Without music life would be a mistake. - Friedrich Nietzsche
