Giving Thanks To Music

Music holds a special meaning. Sometimes it marks a momentous time in one's life, or recalls a deep-seated emotion that stirs us to our core. And sometimes it changes our lives in a profound way. Eight individuals from different walks of life describe something they all have in common: the profound value classical music has had for them. As these outstanding people from the worlds of poetry, music, opera, film, theatre, humanitarian aid, and radio and television news reveal their experiences, we take a moment to give thanks for the music that has enriched our lives.
