The New York Philharmonic this month is joining the growing numbers of musical organizations offering wellness programs with the launch of its Take a Breath series, and A Tempo this week is exploring how these workshops will bring together mindfulness and stress relief with a musical element. A Tempo host Rachel Katz will speak with NY Philharmonic Vice President of Education and Community Engagement Gary Padmore, as well as with two of the workshops' facilitators - Kendall Johnson-Smith and Sara Auster - about the series and the role the orchestra can play in providing mental health and wellness programs to the community.
Rachel Katz is the host of A Tempo which airs Saturdays at 7 pm.
