Future… it always seems so far away from me. As a younger generation of this complex world, I used to not think that I am part of this community to make the world a better place to live in.
However, as I grow to become more matured, I will ask myself sometimes, what can we as the younger generation do to contribute to this community.

That is the beauty of classical music, it would not extinct between generations, it would continue being passed on. I am the future and I hold responsibility to contribute to the community in the area of classical music making.

For this interview, I spoke to Vera Holczer, a 40-year-old immigrant from Hungary. For 19 years, Vera lived in Hungary’s capital with her mother. She has always had a passion for classical music especially on the piano.

Millennials, or America’s youth born between 1982 and 2000, now number 83.1 million and represent more than 25 percent of the nation’s population, according to the new U.S. Census Bureau.
