It’s an ancient approach that uses rhythm to promote healing and self-expression. Drumming has been known to induce deep relaxation, lower blood pressure and reduce stress. Drumming has also been used as a form of communication and community building. The lecture portion of the program has open attendance. Advanced registration is required for participation in the inner drumming circle, which has a 20 person maximum. Other percussion instruments will be provided for the outer circle, for an additional 25 participants.

Composed in 1844, it is a stand-alone overture intended for concert performance, made up of material and themes from Berlioz’s opera Benvenuto Cellini, including some music from the opera’s carnival scene-hence the overture’s title. Join us as George takes us through the blueprint of this overture and teaches listening skills that will help the attendees to connect with classical music.
