Open Minds1

Almost ten years ago, IMSLP started with a passion of giving the world access to music. We believe that all people, no matter their background, should have the chance to connect with one of the greatest treasures of humanity. Now that IMSLP has over 300,000 music scores and recordings, we would like to extend this philosophy even further.

Open Minds, an IMSLP exclusive video series, stems from the idea that positive change can happen as simply as a single conversation between two people. Through this conversation, we would like to bring together the music and arts communities. We would like to inspire collaboration instead of competition, enthusiasm over envy, and patience over provocation. Together, we hope to address and solve problems concerning art, and build a foundation of ideas upon which we can establish a sustainable system of arts education available for all people.
On behalf of IMSLP, I would like to invite you to join this conversation. We are forever grateful for the adventurous, curious, and willing community of the IMLSP project. The time has come for us to once again join forces and start along a new path. We ask that you approach this video series with an open mind, and see it as all works of art - a work in progress. We welcome your constructive feedback, and hope that you will join us in becoming a positive force of change through the arts. In the words of Leopold Stokowski, “we can all do better”.
