Scientists have long discovered the positive effect that classical music has on our brain, notably demonstrated in the practice of making babies, toddlers, and fetus listen to it, thereby stimulating their brain power. Likewise, the best way to get rid of all the stress and troubles accumulated in the week is to enjoy a piece of classical music performed by expert musicians in New York City. Dwelling upon this notion, I recommend you to check out a performance by the amazing string sextet Concertante this Monday to celebrate the group’s 15th anniversary this season. The performance features pieces by two of my most favorite composers, Lutwig Van Beethoven’s String Trio in C Minor (Op. 9, No. 3) and Johann Brahms’ Quintet in B minor, along with Corigliano’s “Soliloquy” for Clarinet and String Quartet. The concert will be held at 7:30 pm, Merkin Concert Hall, 129 West 67th Street, Manhattan for the affordable price of $10 per ticket per student. Relax and enjoy the show.
