We would like to invite you to a fund-raiser discussion on some of the issues raised by Sir Roger Scruton in his book Music as an Art (Bloomsbury, 2018) in occasion of Fundacja inCanto’s translation of the book into Polish by Dr. Katarzyna Marczak.

In this unique moment, where the natural music making is forcefully silenced, we would like to “let the silence speak” (Music and the Moral Life)  through a discussion on education, inspiration, imagination, and, of course, through Music.
