Karl Paulnack on the importance of music in today's world

<p>Here is the text of a welcome address given to incoming freshmen at Boston Conservatory by Karl Paulnack: Welcome</a> Address, by Karl Paulnack</p>

<p>Thats a wonderful way of addressing an incoming class. What a beautiful way to explain the importance of music in society...especially in hard times. Thanks for sharing that:)</p>

<p>Nice. Thank you. Sent it to my son</p>

<p>Due to the excellent work of our master indexer, violadad, I have discovered that the link given above no longer points to Mr. Paulnack’s speech. Here is another source for it that I hope will be around longer: [Karl</a> Paulnack to the Boston Conservatory Freshman Class From the Top Green Room](<a href=“http://greenroom.fromthetop.org/2009/03/11/karl-paulnack-to-the-boston-conservatory-freshman-class/]Karl”>http://greenroom.fromthetop.org/2009/03/11/karl-paulnack-to-the-boston-conservatory-freshman-class/)</p>

<p>Thank you for correcting the link -not that I didn 't want to know all about the Columbus Symphony- I do enjoy reading those things too!, but the speech was excellent. Sent it on to my D.</p>

<p>BassDad, thanks for the find and the heads up. I’ve also added it here <a href=“Useful Music Links - Music Major - College Confidential Forums”>Useful Music Links - Music Major - College Confidential Forums;
