Impact Fusion

Music heals.  It heals the heart, the mind, and scientific research has shown, that it is not only therapeutic, but physically healing as well.  A collaboration is in the works right now, one which is bringing the gift of music to the masses in New York, via Carnegie Hall.  The Weill Music Institute of Carnegie Hall recently announced their partnership with the Institute for Music and Neurological Function.  This collaboration will bring not only the entertainment value of music, but the healing aspects to the Beth Abraham community in Manhattan. 

This will prove to be one of the most unique and  diverse musical events of the year.  Musical Connections is the viaduct, bringing the healing power of the arts to people who are either without insurance, or who would otherwise not have the means to experience the benefits and the joys associated with this kind of artistic interaction.  Throughout the year, any boutique hotel in New York, may find itself filled with not only musical talent, but with musical healers who will travel to the city to ‘perform’.  But really what they will be doing is taking a tour of the hospitals, the senior homes, the correctional facilities, and the shelters, offering not a Broadway musical, but a real life experience for the people that would not have the chance otherwise, to experience it. 

This project is dedicated to the interaction, the development of health and art through music, and has in the past provided ground breaking results in the areas of art, science and restorative therapy. This has provided benefits not only for those in the institutions, but for the musicians and the performers themselves.  Resulting in a more sensitive group of people, sensitive to the effects of and on one’s body, that are caused by a stroke, or the effects of those suffering from Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s.  Leave it to New York, a big city with a very long history of bringing people together, with each other, through the arts.
