Cellist Wendy Law, founder and artistic director of Classical Jam, talks with Noted Endeavors about involving entire communities.

Arts advocacy isn’t just about speaking before Congress or requesting support from donors. It is also about artists cultivating their audiences by communicating on levels that transcend the page and the stage. Classical Jam aims to build relationships with audiences outside the concert hall through collaborations with fellow artists, presenters and people living in the community. Wendy Law knows the importance of connecting on a personal level with members of a city or town, engaging with them, having them participate in making music.

SHUFFLE Concert has performed all over the United States, in Europe, and recently traveled to Israel for its fourth tour there. Each of the members of this unique group has performed extensively as soloist and collaborative musician throughout the world. The musicians are drawn from Israel, Spain and the United States. Their achievements outside the ensemble are formidable and all of them are dedicated to doing outreach and residencies. The founder of SHUFFLE Concert, Eliran Avni says that outreach to bring the joy of music to young and old is “a crusade” for the group. They have created a special outreach fund to make certain they can do as much outreach as possible.
