THE SERENDIPITY PROJECT

Overview and Significance of Project
In a world increasingly structured and filled with distractions, The Serendipity Project celebrates the power of serendipity—those good chance happenings that can open the door to new possibilities. Through affordable performances at accessible venues, free interactive workshops for all ages, and a culminating album featuring recently composed works by four leading composers, this multifaceted initiative creates space where serendipitous moments can be embraced, encouraging audiences and participants to remain open to possible opportunities and connections.
