"The work really isn't just that night of the Grammy Awards for us, the work is year round."
"If you think about music and how broad it is... it touches on every life."
"Music is very local but music is also very global. And it crosses all boundaries."
"(The Public Program Series) is one of L.A.'s best kept secrets but it also is one of L.A.'s hardest tickets to get."
"Memberships support our mission. So, every dollar that you pay to become a member supports music education."
"We see our mission, to leverage our brand, to provide some semblance of music education to students who otherwise wouldn't receive it."
"I wake up daily just thinking, Wow... I don't even know how to describe it. It's an amazing feeling. I'm very fortunate. I'm very blessed... I'm honored to have this position."
"The night of the Grammy Awards I get to be a fan."
