The future of music may not lie entirely in music itself, but rather in the way it encourages and extends, rather than limits the aspirations and ideals of the people, in the way it makes itself a part with the finer things that humanity does and dreams of.

Charles Ives

Music is very abstract. When we talk about music, we're not discussing the music itself but rather how we react to it.

Daniel Barenboim

I would rather like my work to speak for itself.

Troy Carter
