Berlin-based program makes classical music more accessible

Avri Levitan stages his Musethica program in Beijing to bring classical music closer to the public. From children and senior citizens to audiences at a health center and a live-music venue, Levitan showed that classical music, which is regarded as high-art by some, can be accessible to people of various backgrounds. As a young music student, I learned that it's not only important to be a good musician in terms of the technique but also a good musician for society at large," says Wang. It's not the real interest of being a musician," says Levitan, who is a viola and chamber music professor at Zaragoza Music Conservatory in Spain.
