WETA Classical is pleased to continue its partnership with Levine Music to promote their many community-based music programs and activities. Levine welcomes anyone interested in music — regardless of age, ability, or means — to find lifelong inspiration and joy through learning, performing, listening to, and participating with others in music.

Levine Music is more than a school. They certainly focus on EDUCATION, with a faculty of 150 professional artists offering individual and group instruction. But Levine also stresses the importance and joy of PERFORMANCE, through its “Levine Presents” series, master classes, and competitions. And encompassing everything Levine offers is a focus on COMMUNITY, providing a musical home for children and adults at its four campuses in the Washington region and through partnerships with other arts organizations.

During the 2020-21 season, WETA Classical partnered with Levine Music to offer online lectures related to performances in their Levine Presents series. Evening host James Jacobs shared his knowledge of a variety of topics, ranging from the obscure shoulder cello to Lord of the Rings. Videos for three of the four presentations are available below.
