September is Classical Music Celebration Month! Learn about the history of classical music and how it has evolved into what we know it to be today!

Please enjoy Aaron Dworkin's newest work titled Chamber Music, which dives into the unique dialogue that occurs between instruments and the joy found in the shared art of creation. 

 In tandem with Shar Music®, Aaron has created a group of poems that relate to classical music, his own life and experience, and the universal process of making art. Aaron Dworkin is a Poetjournalist, Social Entrepreneur, Performing Artist, Author, Filmmaker, Philanthropist, and Professor of Arts Leadership & Entrepreneurship at the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance.
