For our September love letters to Maine we asked eisaacso, founder and artistic director of Portland performing arts organization classicaluprise, to write a letter to live music in The Pine Tree State. “Unlike watching YouTube, live music is a communal act,” says Isaacson. “A room of 50 or maybe 5,000 people are entranced, simultaneously, so that you could hear a pin drop at merrillauditorium, or energized so synchronistically that the floor in the statetheatreportland shakes.” Click the link in bio to read Isaacson’s full letter celebrating the power of experiencing music in person.⁠ ⁠ Photo: nicole_wolf_photography⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ #themainemag #loveme #loveletters #loveletterstomaine #livemusic #musicinmaine
