For the Chelsea Music Festival’s 15th season, we present “Connecting the Dots”
which traces how music and art allows us to touch what seems intangible,
repair what seems broken, and reimagine our interconnectedness with one another.
We focus on the restorative powers of the arts as we examine ways that music and art both calm and reinvigorate the brain and nervous system. We will also explore together various neurological challenges and changes we can encounter in ourselves and our loved ones.
Thank you for coming - see you next season!
