Spring Appeal: Double Your Gift with the Carter Match!Dear friends, As we warm to the emerging spring, Community MusicWorks celebrates our commitment to a definition of musicianship that graduating violinist, Andrew, says “helped to develop my voice, not only in the community of CMW, but in the community of the world.” In his new work, author David Brooks talks about the deep sense of purpose that comes from applying one’s talents to the “world’s great needs.” This concept resonates with the work we do at CMW and the orientation we provide our students: How can we be citizens of the world, and deploy our musicianship for the world’s needs? In particular, we have had a multi-year inquiry into the ways that musicianship can be a link to important social justice traditions. In May, Community MusicWorks will commemorate the 50-year anniversary of The Civil Rights Movement – the Civil Rights Act, Selma, the Voting Rights Act and more, as a way to converse with important voices of our past, and the issues of division and inequality we still face in our local communities. With your gift today, we can sustain this dialogue and continue to cultivate the voices of young musicians like Andrew: active and involved citizens inhabiting the world. Please join us in exploring the ways we bring music to bear on the world’s great needs, add young people’s voices to important inquiries into social justice, and create moments of beauty in our everyday lives. Sincerely, P.S. With your donation today, the Carter Family Charitable Trust will match all gifts to CMW up to a total of $75,000. Between now and June 1, you can double the impact of your gift.
