Citizen Artistry! That was the topic of the Aspen Institute's Conference in NYC this week.
On Tuesday night, there was a great dinner at the Lotos Club, where the discussions continued. The next day, the discussions continued, followed by rehearsals with Yo-Yo Ma and Damian Woetzel. The culminating concert and discussion took place at the Danny Kaye Playhouse of Hunter College on Wednesday night.
