Hmm, somthing is out of tune...

Partnerships between orchestras and scientific research centers are proving mutually beneficial. Researchers seek to deepen their understanding of how music influences neurology, physiology, and mental health, while their studies provide orchestras with valuable insights into the impact of their work.

Orchestras and presenters are inviting listeners into intimate spaces to experience live music in ways designed to calm and enable self-care.

Sensory-friendly and adaptive performances are designed to create a more inclusive experience, ensuring that all audience members can engage with and enjoy the music comfortably.

Orchestras that collaborate with therapists, crisis centers, shelters, and prisons are creating musical experiences that offer comfort, reduce stress, and support recovery.

Partnerships with healthcare facilities have enabled many orchestras to create meaningful musical experiences that enhance patient care and improve health outcomes.

As evidence grows of music’s profound impact on health and well-being, orchestras are increasingly recognizing the potential to lead in this space. This resource is designed to guide orchestras in the early stages of working with health and well-being providers, while drawing on the insights of established programs.
