SUMMARY:Music is Meditation - Try it FREE for the month of June!
DESCRIPTION:Age-old practices of meditation\, such as Zen\, remain an effective means of promoting stress-reduction and attaining self-awareness. \nThis series\, entitled “Music is Meditation\,” will explore the possibilities of using “musical mantras” in the place of verbal ones in the practice of collective meditation. \nEach session will entail two 20-minute meditation periods\, each employing recurrent musical motives or tranquil meandering themes\, played on keyboard\, as a focus for inward centering. \nThe first meeting will begin with a brief introduction to the practice of collective meditation. \nParticipants should wear comfortable clothing\, and bring a small mat if intending to sit on the floor. Chairs will be provided. \nMusic is Meditation will meet Friday Mornings in June (9:00am – 9:50am)\nTry it out FREE this month! June 12\, June 19\, June 26. \nRegistration is not required for these three classes.

SUMMARY:Roger Zahab: Complete Works for Solo Cello (so far!)
DESCRIPTION:David Russell will perform and discuss works for solo cello by Pittsburgh-based composer\, conductor and violinist Roger Zahab. Roger’s unique and beautiful style weaves together sumptuous romanticism\, “Cage-ian” whimsy\, complex but listenable harmony and a deeply personal sense of friendship. \nIn preparation for a recording project of music by one of his closest mentors and collaborators\, David is delighted to play and talk about this body of work ranging from miniatures lasting less than a minute to multi-movement Britten-esque essays. This opportunity to share the fruits of a more than 30 year association is just too great to pass up. \nPlease come join us! \nDAVID RUSSELL – Hailed as “superb”\, “incisive” and “sonorous and panoramic” in The Boston Globe\, David Russell maintains a vigorous schedule both as soloist and as collaborator in the U.S. and Europe.

SUMMARY:Music Masterclass (Performance Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:WHAT IS A MASTERCLASS? \nA music masterclass is a unique learning experience for musicians that combines performance\, critique\, and observation. \nPerformance: Musicians perform a work in progress in front of an audience. \nExpert Instruction: A highly skilled musician\, often a renowned performer or teacher\, leads the masterclass. \nTargeted Critique: After the performance\, the instructor critiques the musicians’ technique\, interpretation\, and stage presence\, offering guidance for improvement. \nLearning for All: The masterclass setting allows not just the performing student but also the audience (other musicians and sometimes the general public) to learn from the expert’s insights and the student’s performance. \nMusicians watching other musicians perform and being exposed to the instructor’s approach can be inspiring and informative. \nPerforming in front of an audience\, even with potential critique\, helps build confidence and stage presence.

SUMMARY:Music is Meditation - Try it FREE for the month of June!
DESCRIPTION:Age-old practices of meditation\, such as Zen\, remain an effective means of promoting stress-reduction and attaining self-awareness. \nThis series\, entitled “Music is Meditation\,” will explore the possibilities of using “musical mantras” in the place of verbal ones in the practice of collective meditation. \nEach session will entail two 20-minute meditation periods\, each employing recurrent musical motives or tranquil meandering themes\, played on keyboard\, as a focus for inward centering. \nThe first meeting will begin with a brief introduction to the practice of collective meditation. \nParticipants should wear comfortable clothing\, and bring a small mat if intending to sit on the floor. Chairs will be provided. \nMusic is Meditation will meet Friday Mornings in June (9:00am – 9:50am)\nTry it out FREE this month! June 12\, June 19\, June 26. \nRegistration is not required for these three classes.

SUMMARY:Music Masterclass (Performance Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:WHAT IS A MASTERCLASS? \nA music masterclass is a unique learning experience for musicians that combines performance\, critique\, and observation. \nPerformance: Musicians perform a work in progress in front of an audience. \nExpert Instruction: A highly skilled musician\, often a renowned performer or teacher\, leads the masterclass. \nTargeted Critique: After the performance\, the instructor critiques the musicians’ technique\, interpretation\, and stage presence\, offering guidance for improvement. \nLearning for All: The masterclass setting allows not just the performing student but also the audience (other musicians and sometimes the general public) to learn from the expert’s insights and the student’s performance. \nMusicians watching other musicians perform and being exposed to the instructor’s approach can be inspiring and informative. \nPerforming in front of an audience\, even with potential critique\, helps build confidence and stage presence.
