Join Kate Tamarkin, therapeutic musician at Hospice of the Piedmont and Professor Emeritus and Music Director Laureate of the Charlottesville Symphony, for an introduction to the emerging field of “Music as Care.” She will explore the history, philosophy, and foundational principles of using live music to support healing and well-being in hospice and clinical settings.

Kate will demonstrate these principles through a live. Celtic harp performance, illustrating how music is adapted in real time to meet individual needs. The session will conclude with a guided musical meditation for the audience, offering a direct experience of music’s restorative and reflective power.
