Those heading inside Studio Bell will be able to partake in a National Music Centre President’s Tour with Andrew Mosker from 2 to 3 pm, which will highlight the healing power of music, according to a release from NMC.
“The National Music Centre has always believed that music heals and has been committed to providing action-based initiatives through on-site and outreach programs in the community that promote the healing power of music,” said Andrew Mosker, president and CEO of NMC, in the release.
“This year, we are expanding our music and healing programming stream, by welcoming the public to explore mental health education and therapies throughout the year, which they can incorporate into their everyday lives.”
A Kimball Theatre Presentation will be held from 3 to 3:30 pm with an emphasis on music and emotions, which will be followed up with a drum therapy session from 3:30 to 4 pm.
The drum session is free to the public as well.
“Bell Let’s Talk congratulates the National Music Centre for taking action to support community mental health groups and through its planned new music and healing program,” said Mary Deacon, Chair of Bell Let’s Talk, in the release.
“Music helps to create positive change for those living with mental illness and this initiative by NMC is a great example of the difference we can make in all our communities.”
Events that are not free to the public can be accessed with regular admission to Studio Bell.
