"After a very intense year of focusing on the myriad details of bringing musicians together during a pandemic, it was a necessary breathe of fresh air to take a step back and view things in the context of the bigger picture and why we do this work at all. Thank you Boomerang Carnets for enabling me to attend this years digital conference, which left me inspired and excited for the work ahead." Michelle Zwi - 2021 Recipient, Operations & Touring Manager, The Philadelphia Orchestra
