“Sands’ crowning achievement – and the primary reason he was selected to receive the Excellence in Arts Award – is the creation and direction of Music in the Somerset Hills (MISH). Having lived and taught in the area since 1998, it had long been Sands’ dream to found a local organization that would enable people of all ages and backgrounds to hear and learn about high quality classical music.”
