Salute to Vienna New Year’s Concert (San Diego)

It was once said, 
"Music is a moral law.
It gives a soul to the universe,
wings to the mind, flight to the imagination,
 a charm to sadness, and life to everything."
Plato
I attended the Salute to Vienna New Year’s Concert at the Jacobs Music Center, and as always, the sound was far better live. The arts are something society truly needs more of. Music and dance take years of dedicated practice, and they connect us deeply to our human nature.

The choreography was strong, and there was a spectacular fouetté solo that really stood out. The Jacobs Music Center is spectacular in its design. 

You can find more information on the Salute to Vienna New Year’s Concert on their website.

More broadly, connecting to our historical and cultural roots matters. Every culture has its own forms of dance and artistic expression, developed within social settings for a reason. Understanding their deeper purpose helps us appreciate how humans have long used art to express, relate, and connect with one another.
