A man who made music by following his heart, Carlo Maria Giulini (1914–2005) was born in Barletta, Italy.

As the conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra from 1978 to 1984, Giulini understood the soul of collaboration: human contact, friendship, and creating beauty with love.

He explained that once you moved past technique and doing things “right,” you reached something deeper, “this mysterious thing that is the life of the music.”

Giulini believed in the power of synergism—working together with a shared vision to release magic. By sharing thoughts, learning from one another, and nurturing a single idea into something extraordinary, we create connection. Just as every instrument matters in an orchestra, every person matters in life.

As poet James Allen once said, "Harmony is one phase of the law whose spiritual expression is love."

Each of us contributes unique ideas. Our diversity is a celebration. With hearts connected, we build meaning together.

Author Gita Bellin explained it well: “The impossible is possible when people align with you. When you do things with people, not against them, the amazing resources of the Higher Self within are mobilized.”
