Sounds & Feelings - Joe Lovano

"Brooklyn Music Wide Open is not just another concert series. One of the elements that makes it special—for both the audience and the musicians—is that artists are invited to discuss their process and answer questions as they arise. This creates a natural, relaxed atmosphere in which the barriers between audience and performers are removed and true understanding and appreciation can take place."

-Eileen Willis, Metropolitan Museum of Art

"The children were motivated, inspired and in awe of the fantastic musicians who managed to make this workshop stimulating, age-appropriate and fun...I would highly recommend this group for any educational program and would be the first to say how memorable this day was for the children and staff of BISNY."

-Holly Hampton, Head of Music - British International School of New York

“This is one of the greatest services provided to Brooklyn, thanks guys.”
