Our Work
Community Outreach and Education
The Foundation develops educational content and works in partnership with other nonprofit organizations to promote learning in art and science.
With a curated library of thousands of articles, we help draw audiences into live classical performances through musical and historical context.
Research
We build upon decades of music history research performed by Ed Yadzinski and captured in an extensive library of works combining elements of music, performance art, history and science. Examples of this educational material include:
Music history essays (program notes)
Compositions
Educational supplements
Scientific writings
Archival Services
Complementing the original works described above, the Foundation will continue to support and grow organizational archives that capture the rich history and heritage of community music, arts, history and culture to promote learning and knowledge growth.
