Rest in Power, Quincy Jones, BM '51

Today, we honor a legend who helped shape the soundtrack of our lives, Quincy Jones, a proud Berklee College alumnus. His visionary spirit, boundless creativity, and profound wisdom have left an indelible mark on music and culture.

Jones once said, “Imagine what a harmonious world it could be if every single person, both young and old, shared a little of what he is good at doing.”

His words are a powerful reminder of the beauty we can create when we share our gifts, passions, and stories. Quincy Jones shared his gifts with the world, and in doing so, he brought joy, understanding, and connection to countless lives. Today, let's honor his legacy by sharing what we’re good at, just as he encouraged us to do. ❤️
