“Music is the social act of communication among people, a gesture of friendship, the strongest there is”

Malcolm Arnold

“Where words fail, music speaks.”

Hans Christian Andersen

“Bringing music into public spaces makes art part of everyday life — it dissolves walls and builds bridges between strangers.”

Yo Yo Ma

“A town without music is a body without a soul.”

Anonymous

“Live music in public places reminds us that beauty is not locked away in concert halls — it belongs to everyone.”

Daniel Barenboim

“Every performance in a shared space is a seed of joy, and communities grow stronger around joy.”
