About

The Art of Listening is an engaging exploration of classical music masterpieces through quality live performance and conversation with the artist in intimate settings such as homes, schools, colleges, hospitals and nursing homes.

Classical music is often seen as something elitist and hard to understand. People usually describe it as soothing and relaxing at best, or boring and cheesy at worst. It is almost completely absent from the mainstream media and public classrooms, and is often reduced to background “elevator” music.

But masterworks of classical music have much more to offer to us today. They were written by the greatest musical minds in history and have the potential to touch us deeply and enrich our lives. Their messages are as relevant now as they were hundreds of years ago when they were written. We only need to rediscover how to listen, and what to listen for.

The Art of Listening offers an in-depth introduction of select musical masterworks, and in the process furthers the understanding and appreciation of classical music. Each concert is a unique experience, as audience participation shapes it differently each time. Furthermore, each concert has the potential to become a personally meaningful introspective journey for the participants.
