We Believe
We believe that many of our social and environmental dilemmas today stem from a lack of empathy and effective, non-violent expression. The creation of music in group settings has, for millennia, been a critical part of how we learn these vital human skills.
Today recorded music has far surpassed live music in popularity. We believe that, while at times useful and enjoyable, recorded music can never replace the social value that is inherent in ensemble playing. By focusing on sensitivity in perception and an appreciation for music history and theory, we aim to enable the creation of new life in sound.
As part of our service to the community, the Open Air Orchestra Society would like to invite you to make use of the following material to create music in whatever way you see fit. These are arrangements and original compositions by members of the Open Air Orchestra Society, given freely to the world. It is asked only that the composer and/or arranger are credited in any derivative work.
