About Us

We believe the way classical music represents ourselves as a people has a potential to evolve, as it should.

Our most pressing goal is to represent the diversity of today through all walks of life. By bringing awareness to the classic music community of composers, poets, and stories that are underrepresented such as women, people of color, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, immigrants, the Indigenous community, for example, we hope to inspire an important change and remind us all of our unified desires.

Through various projects and events, we hope to inspire a necessary change in classic music and put it well into action.

Carrie Jacobs-Bond is a prominent American composer who became the first woman to sell over one million copies of a song. One of her hits, “End of a Perfect Day,” portrays the beauty of coming together and the healing power of friendship and music—the inspiration for our foundation.

“Do you think what the end of a perfect day can mean to a tired heart,

When the sun goes down with a flaming ray, and the dear friends have to part?

Well, this is the end of a perfect day, near the end of a journey, too; but it leaves a thought that is big and strong, with a wish that is kind and true.

For mem’ry has painted this perfect day With colors that never fade,

And we find at the end of a perfect day The soul of a friend we’ve made.”

A Perfect Day
