Global Ode to Joy

The world is different, but we can still share joy. This is the message of the #GlobalOdeToJoy, a worldwide project with thousands of people from over 70 countries joining to honor Beethoven’s 250th anniversary. Thank you all for sharing your joy with us! bit.ly/GOTJplaylist

Next week, I'll be joining the 2021 @ConcordiaSummit for "Digital Futures for Culture," a discussion of the @GlobalOdeToJoy and the power of music to bring us together throughout the pandemic. Join us Wednesday at 10:40am ET: #event-879" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">concordia.net/annualsummit/2…

Our third gold memory is a joyful one! It was a privilege to work with @marinalsop on @GlobalOdeToJoy. She encouraged members to sing with the purpose of enjoying the music, not getting it 100% correct all the time. ❤️❤️ #Christmas #Christmas2020 #5goldrings #5goldmems #memories
