The greatest wealth of this nation is not only the mergers of giant corporations or the possibility of further globalization of the infrastructure of the world.

Everywhere in the world, music enhances a hall, with one exception: Carnegie Hall enhances the music.

Music is not an acquired culture... it is an active part of life.

A man possesses talent; genius possesses the man.
