Music that Resonates

It seems to me that fine art, in particular classical music really resonates with older adults. Probably it's their life experience which finds a friend in the depth and the dimensions of musical master works - which had to have been crafted with care and seriousness of purpose to have lasted for decades and centuries.

Music and Mathematics

The ancient Greeks had it right - mathematics helps us to explain the outside world - but we need the fine arts, particularly music, to help explain our inner world. Classical music provides a multi-dimensional counter-weight, a way to balance our lives in a technological age dominated by computers, robotics and their inherent lack of passion. These two can live together  - but we must see to it that they do.
