to the city music all-stars, 18 -- one of many groups such perform at the beantown music festival. it draws tens and thousands of music lovers overall -- of all ages. the director joins us in the studio. how are you? >> i am fantastic, how are you? karen: for those without not had a time to go to the beantown festival after all of this time, tell us about the city music festival. >> the city music program have in the community. i think it is its 22nd year. it serves over 80,000 students. the scope and range has gone from 26 states, and right now we have i think 39 partners that are being served. karen: it is competitive to get into the berkeley college of music. i must imagine it is pretty competitive to get into the all-stars. how are the musicians chosen?

say is that berklee college of music has been very intentional of opening up access points so that all students can participate in the program. there is a lot of different doors they can come through. and then through the door that they enter, be it a high school academy or the preparatory, they all audition through faculty from the college that they have to go and look at what students should be put in the ensemble. karen: so that way you get a diversity from around the city and the school as well. >> that is the richness of the prm. not only does our diversity come from what is coming in from the community but also from what the college is offering from their faculty, staff, and the families coming in. karen: it must be interesting to watch these musicians grow as they matriculate through the program. >> it is. actually the artist you are , looking at today has been with us on a different program since the age of 12. so to see her transitioning to not only adulthood but her

musicianship maturing is also very rewarding. karen: the theme for this year is jazz, the peace supreme. what does that idea mean, that title? >> the first thing i would say is peace supreme, it is a state of mind and state of being. the college has done a good job of creating citizens that are looking at being a part of the world on -- in a peaceful way, so it is authentic but true. karen: i think of love supreme. >> yeah, because of john -- karen: john coletrane. tell us about where you will be performing, the groups performing at the great jazz fest? >> i understand this group is kicking off the festival on the 24th. you won't be able to miss them because it will be this first sound of setting up the environment. as you come into the in -- the festival you will be able to

be sure to catch the berkeley beantown jazz festival saturday, september 24 on columbus avenue in roxbury. blocks and blocks of music. you have got to check it out. >> ? whispers in a breeze upon the summer day i cannot say where all the time goes followed by the shadows of our yesterday have they gone away and leave us all to find out who we are inside our minds? you decide it is time to change sounds that all create such a beautiful melody up in the sky, you and i would go on and on and on and on and on oh how we love

karen: we continue with the berkeley beantown festival music special. berkeley students, professors and alumni have all graced the

commitment to providing entertainment for the boston community. the provost larry simpson joins us now to give more on this festival's impact, students, family and the community. welcome, how are you doing? larry: i am doing great. karen: talk to us more about how the festival changes every year. larry: i will tell you how it has changed over the past few years. only first got involved, our intent was to bring all of the world's bies stages, but as time went by, it became increasingly clear to us that we have such a rich, rich array of talent within boston, within berkeley. so now the festival really focuses on the talent, the skills and the people we have right here. we actually think this may be a way for future festivals to to take advantage of the talent in their own community. karen: and of course berkeley is

year round. larry: that is correct. we are committed to this. that is why we do the festival. we had an opportunity, should we continue or not? but boston deserves it, the community deserves it, so we are committed, and we will continue to bring beantown to boston. karen: it is a great day, i love it. the theme is jazz, the peace supreme. what does it mean to you? larry: the john coltrane, the love supreme. what it means, we are in some difficult times, some social times of upheaval, unrest, people not trusting each other. but jazz has always been the most democratic form of music. it has always brought people together from every background imaginable. and so we said, jazz the peace supreme was absolutely the best title we could have for this

with us today. the city music all-stars are here in the studio giving us a preview of saturday's beantown festival. we visited them before last year's jazz festival, looking at their polished sound. how it all comes together. take a look. ? karen: that is the sound of respect, excelle that is the sound of berkeley's city music all-stars. ? karen: the all-stars are hand-picked from over 1000 students participating in the city music program. winston is the artistic director for the all-stars. winston: they play every style. they are very diligent in terms of hard work. every assignment that was given

responsibility to make it happen. ? karen: the program itself is the opportunity of a lifetime for boston's underserved youth. many go on to berkeley with full scholarships. >> it is helpful to kids in the city who usually can't afford private tutoring. it really has been throughout -- helpful throughout school for me. winston: this helps a lot of students to really get to know who they are. as an winston: working with the students to know my standards, , it is really hard. >> winston is not afraid to tell you when you are sounding bad. [laughter] >> winston is very hard on you at first. i was always nervous playing around with him because he is winston. i was nervous like the first, actually i am still nervous around winston.

in the city music program. it has taught me music is much more than just the notes on the paper. you know that what you are doing is to help better people. he is a great teacher. karen: it is his teaching style that encourages the young all-stars to work harder and share their valuable talent. winston: they can teach me something. karen: the tightknit group is giveme material. winston: the key thing psychologically is letting them know anything they want to do musically, this is your crowd, this is what you want to do. ? karen: it solidifies the tremendous responsibility which rests on their shoulders. >> we are playing alongside people that we look up to. you listen to their records, someone is playing in the same festivals.

from the city music all-stars. it is called "no fear." ? >> ? i know there is not enough time in the day that can complicate the way that i feel i know it feels like it is swimming again the good is trying to live the good is fatal survival, primal dancing up feeling up your skin
