| | | APSA_NY12-304 | | Symposium I: El Sistema/Abreu Fellows, and Psychoanalysis: Beyond the Concert Hall and Consulting Room Speakers: Julie Jaffee Nagel, PhD (Ann Arbor, MI); Marie Montilla (Pittsfield, MA); Patrick Slevin (Austin, TX); Michael Slevin, MSW (Baltimore, MD) Like psychoanalysis, Western classical music is, in some quarters, thought to be esoteric and elitist. Orchestras struggle to retain aging audiences and bring in the young. El Sistema USA and the Abreu Fellows transplant an idea that grew from 11 music students to a vibrant institution teaching 300,000 of Venezuela’s poorest children. Music, study and performance, transforms individuals and their communities through self-knowledge and self-esteem — core goals of psychoanalysis. Brief presentations by two El Sistema/Abreu musician/organizers and a psychoanalyst/musician are integrated with audio/visual materials to illustrate synergy between music and psychoanalysis. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
