Access to Music Series "If music can extend its energy into a broader role, society at large will reap its vast, cathartic rewards." With this thought in mind, Elizabeth Wolff has launched Access To Music, a piano recital series held in homes in urban centers throughout the United States. Each concert includes a work by a local composer. This same work is performed in an additional city, thus creating a "round-robin" effect and giving the selected composers double exposure. As well, the programs are repeated in outreach settings--at local prisons, rehabilitation and psychiatric centers, women's shelters, and other institutions whose residents cannot travel to hear music's power. ATM's recitals have taken place in St. Paul, Tucson, Los Angeles and Denver. Other cities will be strategically added on an annual basis, ensuring a strong ripple effect across the country. The mission of ACCESS TO MUSIC continues to be threefold: to challenge and expand social conscience to promulgate the names and works of today's emerging composers to give pianists greater opportunity to approach, undertake, understand, and perform new keyboard works Access to Music was featured in a recent edition of the American Composers Forum newsletter, Sounding Board!
