Classical Music for a Better World

Classical Music for a Better World (CMBW) was founded in 2017 by Michael Lu. It has one mission: to inspire every single human being on this planet to make the world a better place for all, through communicating the human spirit in the form of great music.

CMBW works closely with BioFinancial Technologies to produce financial resources to support the field of classical music (and in particular to young talented people of underprivileged backgrounds), and with the American Institute of Translational Medicine and Therapeutics to increase efficiency in people's life and work.

Mini-Concert Series

One major aspect of CMBW is its series of online mini-concerts (lasting no longer than 45-50 minutes each, and some as short as 10-15 minutes). Each mini-concert is oriented around a specific theme and preceded by a monologue that discusses the theme and how it specifically relates to the program.

Upcoming mini-concerts
