Featuring musical gems written by Ania Vu, Caroline Shaw, Remy Le Boeuf, Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel, and Arcangelo Corelli, tonight’s works bring our attention to moments in life that surprise us, slip by us, and shape us. Enjoy performances by the Harlem Quartet, Caleb Hudson, Marisa Karchin, Max Tan, Oliver Xu, Christine Lamprea, Mark Dover, Catherine Boyack, and Emi Ferguson. The concert will be followed by a reception curated by our 2024 Culinary Artist-in-Residence, Rachel Snyder.
And come before the concert for a 6pm ET pre-concert talk, Music for Connection, Brain Health & Aging, given by neuroscientist and founder of Growing Brains, Dr. Jessica Phillips-Silver. People will be invited to peer inside the musical brain and start to understand some of the specific brain regions that are strengthened by music practice across the lifespan. We will see examples of daily music activity for non-specialists, as well as some special things that are boosted in dedicated practitioners. This will bring us to some of the health- and healing-related benefits of music arts, including preventing age-related decline in specific areas.
