When Richard Rossi takes the stage as a composer or director, his goal isn’t simply to make sure the right notes are performed at the right time. He wants his audience to join in the evolutionary process of live music.
“If we touch even one person in the house - change their life in some way - we’ve done our job.”
Rossi's passion and dedication to music and the arts translates to his commitment to the students of Eastern Illinois University, who then carry his enthusiasm for these transformative experiences into the world.
