History In Our Time

As a young musician and arts education innovator, I had the privilege to meet HM Queen Elizabeth II.

I was surprised at how tiny she was – in stature, but certainly a model of towering strength in leadership. She inspired me to serve underserved children everywhere by creating empowering education programs for them.

Queen Elizabeth’s long life was filled with tireless service to all people that included inclusiveness, equality, integrity, compassion and calm. May we continue similarly to measure our own sense of self through service to others.

Here’s to bettering our world together.
