MUNCIE, Ind. — Music has the power to unify, said Scott Watkins. As the new executive director of Muncie Symphony Orchestra, Watkins plans to do just that: bring the community together through music, according to a release.
“There’s something about the beauty and the truth in music; when it comes together, it creates something very powerful,” Watkins said in the release. “Music has the power to unify, it really does. It goes straight to the heart; people feel it, and they’re a part of it. When people listen to music, they don’t look at skin color or demographic background; they are looking at how they feel in the moment with other people around them; they are together for it. I want to use music to unify our community.”
