Rachel Mellis also read aloud these words of encouragement from flutist and composer Valerie Coleman:<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, we are all feeling anger, frustration, and just this feeling of hopelessness, and I feel that artists, first and foremost, with our creativity, we have the ability to take all of that and channel it, reinvent it into a language that connects our humanity, that connects us all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very important to us that we take all of that energy and create music that moves people, that may reach them in ways that words cannot, generate emotions that allow empathy to have a foot through the door, and most of all allow us to express ourselves in such a way that puts us on the front line of healing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tonight, our bridge extends to Arcadia with an entirely different personnel and program \u2013 wish us luck! To support this series, please consider making a donation<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
