MCP Performs at Project: Music Heals Us – Guilford, CT

Now in its second season, Project: Music Heals us is a classical music concert series founded by MCP Violist Molly Carr that takes place in the towns of Guilford, Madison, Branford, and Hamden, Connecticut: Five concerts in churches and six in hospitals and retirement homes.

Church concerts:  Formal chamber music concerts free to the public, set in the beautiful old churches of Guilford and Madison, Connecticut.  These concert evenings feature 45-minute pre-concert lectures as well as post-concert receptions with Q&A with the musicians.

Healing Concerts:  Private concerts played for patients in nursing homes, hospitals, and hospices, as well as for those who are incarcerated in prisons and those staying in homeless shelters. These concerts are shorter versions of the formal church concerts with much more discussion and interaction with the audience.
