Last summer, a first-of-its kind concert, Music & Healing, was performed by the Minnesota Orchestra.  It explored the intersection of music, anxiety and well-being. The performance and a collection of interviews with musicians, guest artists and experts is now available for streaming—for free! Conductor Sarah Hicks leads both the concert and conversations that include singer-songwriter Chastity Brown, producer Lazerbeak, composer Molly Joyce, medical and mindfulness experts, and the Orchestra’s Greg Milliren and Sonia Mantell, all exploring ways in which music helps us understand, express and manage anxiety.

We thought this would be an intersting and useful resource for faculty, staff, and students.  Enjoy!
