Art can't be measured with sales figures or monthly targets, but in memory, emotional impact, resonance. It brings community together, creates shared identity. It reminds us we are not what we do but how we feel about what we do. That we are not immortal. That we ARE immortal.

I've been fortunate to experience a career in the arts, to inspire joy & passion in others with sound... just my voice, my body, my *breath*. I've recreated voices Mozart once heard in his head. Do you know how it feels to sing Strauss over a massive orchestra? I do.

An invention called a Haptic Baton makes it possible for those who can't see to play in an orchestra! By feeling the conductor's movements as vibrations of different intensity, they can sense the energy and quality of the beat. So fantastic.
#musicscience
Percussionist Kyungho Jeon, who was born blind, used to think his dream of playing in an orchestra was impossible.
So he helped create a new type of baton that lets him feel, rather than see, a conductor's movements - and now he can play with an ensemble:
