AD Gemini 1-2.indd 1 8/30/06 4:53:53 PM AD Gemini 1-2.indd 1 8/30/06 4:53:53 PM Greetings from the Executive Director t our benefit dinner held on September 18th, we heard perform a young soprano, Enas Massalha, who is a member of the tiny minority of Israeli-born Muslims. (She was accompanied by a South African pianist.) Along with operatic selections by Verdi and Puccini, she sang popular favorites by Arlen and Loewe. Then she sang, incantation-style, a stirring prayer in Arabic that left Ano dry eyes in the room. We later learned it was Ya Mariam, a song of praise to the Virgin Mary. The thematic title for the evening was The Power of Music. For months leading up to the event, we had wrestled with exactly how to explain what we meant by that, because although the idea is widely understood, it tends to defy particular description. But in the silent moments following the final strains of Ya Mariam, we knew exactly what had eluded us. And it still defies description. In the coming year, we will make music for you that can be described, analyzed, critiqued, and placed in historical and musicological perspective. Of course, we earnestly hope you enjoy it. And yet for each of us in our own way, the power of music will be internalized and indescribable: A private and deeply felt revelation about ourselves and how we interact with the world, a newfound connection with our neighbors, an acquired wisdom about our past, or a renewed faith in our future. We can never be quite sure how music will affect us once it enters our ears. All we can do is keep listening. Thank you for joining us.
