Sir Andrew Davis CBE (1944–2024)

»Whether we’re listeners or performers we know we feel we believe deeply, that music is not mere entertainment but rather one of the most powerful forces for good that we have. It makes us smile, it makes us weep, it brings us close to each other. We live in a world that all too often seems dominated by division. In times like these music enspires, consoles, heals and gives hope. It has the power to unite us in beauty and in spiritual strength.«
