Another new Fellow (2 of 2)CMW welcomes violinist Rachel Panitch! She shared a few sentences about why she was drawn to apply to the Fellowship Program: Community MusicWorks thinks big on a local level. The organization is not afraid to work toward big change by taking small steps. This is what I look forward to doing throughout my life and particularly in my work in community arts. I am a musician who enjoys making things happen: I love organizing events, seeing people get together, singing, playing tunes and supporting each other. I am drawn to CMW by its inclusiveness. It doesn’t say: "how are We going to change that community?" Instead, "how can we work as a part of the community to allow it to change itself?" Perhaps I’m idealizing, but I’m thrilled to be a part of it all. In attending a Performance Party last year, I was drawn in not just by the dedicated and enthusiastic teachers and mentors, but by the dedicated and enthusiastic parents, siblings and community members who make it all happen. I look forward to meeting you! -Rachel Panitch, Fellow Editor: Learn more about Rachel and the Fellowship Program here. |
