ENCORE
This issue was put together in the most difficult of times. The world remains strange and now is even more confusing, so we started thinking about a common denominator, an intangible yet tangible thing that unites us as humanity and so music became our theme. As we were working on the pages of this new issue we were hoping for people to find a piece of joy, thoughtfulness, truth and, above all, hope.
Despite language barriers humans have always find unity and understanding through music. Music is our universal language, the one that doesn’t recognize frontiers, the one that gives hope, that lifts our spirits and makes us feel that we are a part of something special.
