Our Mission
We believe that music is not just something to hear. It is something to feel, to see, to share.
Music Take In exists to create spaces where classical and chamber music enter into conversation with other art forms and with the world around us.
01
Connect art forms
We bring music into dialogue with poetry, visual art, theater, and movement to create immersive
artistic experiences.
02
Support young talent
We provide opportunities, mentorship, and visibility for emerging musicians and interdisciplinary artists.
03
Create shared spaces
We design performances and programs that invite audiences to experience art with all senses, beyond the stage.
04
Break boundaries
We challenge conventions by dissolving borders between disciplines, generations, and communities.
Our Philosophy
Making Space for Art
We believe music is more than sound. It can be seen, felt and moved through.
Art begins when disciplines meet and artists take risks.
We welcome silence as much as sound.
We create space where classical and contemporary art speak freely.
For us, art is a living experience - shared and evolving.
Our Team
Voices Behind the Vision
Our team brings together curators, musicians, producers, and dreamers who believe in the power of live, boundary-crossing art. We collaborate across disciplines and borders to make every project meaningful, bold, and human
