“Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent. It brings solace to the heart, wings to the mind, and life to everything. Music is the essence of the human experience, a reflection of our deepest emotions, and a testament to our capacity to create beauty in the world.” – Victor Hugo
