Many but people will never successful people give credit forget how you made them feel.” to key people who have helped —Maya Angelou “As one chosen by destiny and richly endowed by nature, the artist must have a sense of obligation them on their way. toward those who are denied these riches. It is for him to repay nature and to offer his gifts to humanity, in The mentor-protégé relationship all humility of heart, as an act of gratitude for the grace bestowed upon him.” can be one of the most important —Serge Koussevitzky in our lives. In this exhibit are a few examples of people who have led and continue to lead the way for others. There are thousands more. Are there people who have helped you whom you want to thank? Are there people to whom you need to reach out a hand? “The life and essence of art – whether it is a painting, music or dance – lies in expressing a wellspring of emotion, the universal realm of the human spirit. It is a melding of the individual and the universal. That is why great art reaches out beyond ethnic and national barriers to move people the world over.” — Daisaku Ikeda, Founder of ICAP and President of Soka Gakkai International This exhibit is sponsored by the International Committee of Artists for Peace (ICAP), a coalition of artists and organizations dedicated to promoting global peace and individual happiness through concerts, exhibitions, educational activities and programs for young people.

  • Isaac Stern, Polar Music Prize Laureate 2000 Music Is Life. Life Is
    Isaac Stern, Polar Music Prize Laureate 2000 Music is Life. Life is Music. This is one way of expressing violinist Isaac Stern’s lifetime credo, a credo that has resounded with unflagging strength throughout a long career, all the way from a sensational début in San Francisco during the 1930s to the beginning of the new millennium, which finds Isaac Stern as indefatigable as ever in the cause of international music. He himself has said: “Our responsibility is to continue the search for beauty and humanity. That is what survives.” Music, for Isaac Stern, is a gift to mankind. It has been so from the dawn of history and must forever remain so. This is the artist’s duty, or, as Stern has put it in this age of machinery and computers: “To perform, any machine can play better than a human. But only a human being can look at somebody and say, ‘I love you’.” Isaac Stern is awarded the 2000 Polar Music Prize for a unique and consummate artistry distinguished by a personal musicianship without compare for over half a century, for his pioneering achievement on behalf of young people the world over, for his patient and energetic commitment to preserving and developing places where music is played, and for his uncompromising attitude concerning the humanistic power of music. Through concerts in practical every venue of significance, or through gramophone recordings, Isaac Stern has enabled millions of listerners all over the world to experience his creative interpretations of the classics and also his première performances of works by such contemporary composers as Penderecki, Dutilleux, Rochberg, William Schuman and Peter Maxwell Davies.

The Chamber Orchestra, founded in 1964 by Marc Mostovoy, has a well-established reputation for distinguished performances of repertoire from the Baroque period through the twenty-first century. The Chamber Orchestra's development was motivated, in part, by the desire to provide performance opportunities to young professional musicians emerging from the Curtis Institute of Music and other regional training programs, but also by a desire to make a substantial contribution to the city and the region's cultural life. In addition to presenting its own productions, The Chamber Orchestra started to develop an entrepreneurial business model by seeking other performance opportunities among the region's presenter/producer community, thereby providing supplementary employment for its members. The ensemble also championed new music, with a focus on local composers.
