"Ilona Oltuski's "GetClassical In School" initiative is a timely and poetic project, acting as a bridge between those who have embarked upon a journey of music discoveries and those who might find an infinite source of joy and contentment on such a path - as a member of the audience, 'young explorer' or performer, one joins a unique 'family-relationship' with the generations past, present and future, and reaches a new understanding of the spectrum of emotions we all share.It is with great joy that I hear about this project, and with the hope that wider new audiences will appreciate and contribute to the continuity of genuine Art Music."
