Hi there... do you love singing songs from musicals, like: Brigadoon, Showboat, Les Miserables, Carousel, West Side Story, the King and I, Cats, even Flower Drum Song (if you've even heard of it).

Music is an ancient tool used for healing in both East and Western cultures. As a therapeutic method, it acts as a medicine for the mind, body and soul and is used to create balance and well-being. As a conduit between the physical and spiritual, music has a way of integrating and harmonizing the different dimensions of the human being, as well as offering a pathway for people of various backgrounds to connect and feel united. Different styles of music facilitate differing responses in the human …

I started this group because my experience as a composer was unusual and, I suppose, might be similar to others'. I studied composition in the 1970's and found myself in an unrelated career field. In retirement I've returned to that early interest with a passion. If your experience was similar and you would like to return to composing, join the "Rochester Senior Composers" (BTW you don't have to be a "...senior" to join). The purpose of this group is to provide a shared experience and a shared k …

This Music Meditation group will be offering calming, peaceful musical events. Music is one of the most accessible types of meditation available to us. Listening to tranquil, healing music can easily move us into a deeply relaxed meditative state. While in this state our heart rate slows, our breathing becomes slower and deeper and our brain waves also slow. This deep relaxation that we move into allows our minds to let go and our bodies to relax. We will be inviting different musicians to bring …

These instruments were used in the recording of the soundtrack for Life of Pi (music by Mychael Danna). Every note sounds just right and fires the imagination.
