You'll love this Music seminar!

Music Shows How We Want to Be—a Celebration! is the title of the gala January 4, 2007 public seminar at the Aesthetic Realism Foundation, a not-for-profit educational foundation, 141 Greene Street, off West Houston Street, in SoHo, NYC. The seminar is from 6:30 to 8 PM, and there is a suggested contribution of $10.

With many musical examples from classical music to jazz to rock ‘n’ roll, the speakers—who are musicians, composers, educators—ask “Can we learn about ourselves and what we want from music?” And the answer is Yes!

This rollicking and deep event will help everyone learn what makes for the beauty of music, and how music shows the way we can honestly know and like ourselves! And it is all based on this great principle stated by Eli Siegel, founder of the education Aesthetic Realism: “All beauty is a making one of opposites, and the making one of opposites is what we are going after in ourselves.”
