One truth that I will argue for all my life: HUMANS NEED ART!!!
Art is not a want. It is a need. It keeps us in touch with our humanity in ways that nothing else can. Tonight I was granted the privilege of experiencing Beethoven's 9th symphony performed by our very own Southwest Symphony joined by Lieto Voices!.
MOVED MY SOUL beyond words. Thank you to each artist for the unimaginable hours spent in practice to make my life just a little richer tonight 🎶💕
