The Mission
The purpose of the New York State Music fund is to increase access to and appreciation of music in our time by audiences throughout New York State.
Request Summary

Modeled after the “Live from the Met” program the colleges will retain artists who will permit live broadcast of performances. This program will afford access to the many under represented, low –income residents of the region.

Relationship to HWS Mission
… the Colleges have purposefully expanded our mission to encompass substantive engagement in both the local Geneva community and the greater Finger Lakes region. No longer restricting the scope of our vision to the nearly 2000 students on our campus, we have embarked on a series of initiatives to connect our students, our faculty, and our institutional resources more deeply and more permanently into our larger community…
