Video Text: Anatole Wieck, Professor of Music, School of
Performing Arts, University of Maine: "If the kids from the poorest
neighborhoods did not have access to this music school, they would never
get involved with classical music. But classical music opens the doors
into high culture, which of course opens the door to other
things--intellectual life. Perhaps some of the students will become
professional musicians, and the ones that do not will think of going to
the university."
