Working in tandem with Shar Music, Aaron has created a group of poems that relate to classical music, his own life and experience, and the universal process of making art.
Aaron Dworkin is a Poetjournalist, Social Entrepreneur, Performing Artist, Author, Filmmaker, Philanthropist, and Professor of Arts Leadership & Entrepreneurship at the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance.
In the weeks ahead, we’ll be sharing more of Aaron's poetry frequently on our Shar Music Blog, our YouTube Channel and our Social Media accounts, so be sure to stay tuned!
