What does the future of the performing arts look like? In this final episode of Season 5, four artists and arts workers share stories of evolution — a hip hop musician who found his true calling at the Paralympics, a violinist who left her elite classical bubble to ask who the arts are really for, a conductor who decided to stop waiting for permission and take the helm, and an Ethiopian-American singer whose journey from "We Are The World" to the Grammys shows how music at its best connects us all. This is where ARTS. WORK. LIFE. began, and this is where we're headed.

Featuring:

Chad Harper - "Para-Lyrics"

Mari Lee - "Into the Fold"

Emily Isaacson - "Up-Rising"

Wayna - "Songs In The Key of Change"
