Together We:
an exploration of community, human spirit and compassion.
Together We: observe, nurture creativity, foster conversations, reject boundaries, ask challenging questions of ourselves and others, create meaningful art.
This project, made possible through the Chancellor Faculty Fellowship that Barth received, enables Barth to collaborate with inspirational colleagues worldwide, presenting concerts and creating recordings that showcase a thriving sense of humanity expressed through the Arts.
