When Stevie Wonder lit up London’s Hyde Park BST Festival in July, pointblank’s CEO, Rob Cowan, and Creative Director, JC Concato, were there to experience the moment firsthand, thanks to Keith Harris, Stevie’s long-time manager and a valued member of our Board of Directors. It’s a perfect reminder of what sets pointblank apart: our community is built on genuine, working industry connections.
The show itself was pure joy with “Master Blaster (Jammin’)” bouncing through the arena, the drive of “Higher Ground,” and the sing-along euphoria of “Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours).” The crowd sang, danced, and lived every note, which is a true testament to the artistry that inspires us at pointblank.
Beyond the thrill of the concert, this opportunity underscores how pointblank is powered by leaders who are embedded in the music industry, not just educators, but active professionals with access, visibility and know-how to open doors. That translates into masterclasses, mentorship, and opportunities for students that are hard to find anywhere else.
