Community Acceptance
The Long Island Philharmonic suffers from its proximity to the cultural attractions of New York City. The geography of Long Island itself also poses a problem for the orchestra. Because of the distances between East End suburbs and western exurb neighborhoods, the Long Island Philharmonic generally performs each concert at two or three venues, most notably the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts at CW Post campus of Long Island University and the Staller Center for the Arts at the Stony Brook University, a campus of the State University of New York.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or acceptance:
“The people needed to be rehoused, but I feel disgusted and depressed when I see how they have done it. It did not suit the planners to think how they might deal with the community, or the individuals that made up the community. All they could think was, “Sweep it away!” The bureaucrats put their heads together, and if anyone had told them, “A community is people,” they would not have known what they were on about.”
—May Hobbs (b. 1938)
“Most women of [the WW II] generation have but one image of good motherhood—the one their mothers embodied. . . . Anything done “for the sake of the children” justified, even ennobled the mother’s role. Motherhood was tantamount to martyrdom during that unique era when children were gods. Those who appeared to put their own needs first were castigated and shunned—the ultimate damnation for a gender trained to be wholly dependent on the acceptance and praise of others.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
