Endgame

It’s time to reveal secrets that give true access to classical music, so more humanity may draw on the public domain’s beauty, power of ideas, and emotional catharsis. It’s time to leave the ivory towers for a bit, and face the people we want to start coming to concerts, by setting a humble, generous, humanist context for the practice. It’s time to fulfill the promise of our commons, our public domain. CutTime gives permission to musicians to do what is right, to make classical music “user-friendly,” and build true dialogue with communities seeking a voice. Let each then decide for themselves what is most “valuable.”

CutTime chooses to stand firmly in the middle despite shots from both sides, to hold up this bridge without judgement for those curious enough to walk across. It is a charitable cause and we seek partners for change in all communities, from restaurant & club owners who want meaningful alternatives, to orchestras and concert presenters who want the magic that opens hearts and feet for sonatas. With partners such as donors and musicians nationwide, CutTime can be a leading voice, helping the American classical music industry serve both arts-centric and alienated communities. With Robinson recently moving to Pittsburgh and announcing his retirement, CutTime is seeking successors and champions to realize this vast potential.
