“The joys are many: having a built-in outlet for my creative energies (where else do you go to "work" and call it "play"?); working together with a fine group of students to find the best ways to explain new concepts or refresh old ones; finding ways to present new programs in our schools and finding foundations and corporations able to fund them. I look forward to the time when every single school in the Hudson Valley will be able to have groups from the HVSO visiting on a regular basis, playing side by side with the students in concerts, performing for school assemblies, or being used as a resource by music teachers and students."
