Executive Director of Buffalo String Works (BSW) Yuki Numata Resnick and her staff are attempting something bold close to 20 musical performances by 20 different musicians across the world, who are working together to play an iconic Burmese March on short notice.
It will be one of several performances that BSW is putting together for a concert that wasn’t on the calendar early last week.
“We had a parent reach out to us directly and said, ‘This terrible thing is happening to our families, to our friends in Myanmar,’” Resnick said. “They asked, ‘Miss Yuki, can you please help us raise awareness and share information with the local Buffalo community about what s happening thousands of miles away?’ And so when we received that message, I immediately sent it on to our staff and teaching artists.”
