Music is a gift that many in the Berklee community continually seek to share and from which we draw inspiration. We do so through the simple acts, such as saying, “Hey, check out this artist,” by working with young musicians as educators, or by getting onstage with a group of inspired artists to perform for a receptive audience.
Sometimes we share this gift by supporting one another and by taking a seat in the audience ourselves. The giving and taking of music is like a naturally replenishing resource. Below are a few snapshots that chronicle how members of the Berklee community have been sharing music around the world.
