Community Novo: Co-Creation Project

As a continuation of our Community Novo: Co-Creation Project, Orchestra Novo has connected with Central Coast senior centers serving Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. As part of the patients’ art classes and art therapy, Michael Nowak will present to them Gabriel Faure’s “Pavane,” and they will be guided to draw and paint in response to the music and the feelings and memories it evokes. Their work will then be collected and featured in this concert.

This experience benefits seniors living with Alzheimer’s and dementia by increasiong mental stimulation and assisting in recovery of emotion and memory that have been diminished. It is an opportunity for non-verbal creative expression of feeling and experience that can enrich self-confidence. The art and music enhances the ability to focus on details through guided, active music listening,

Participants will enjoy a sense of pride at having their creative works spotlighted at this concert and gain a greater appreciation and enjoyment of classical music.

We hope to bring to our community an increased understanding of the challenges of living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, as well as a heightened sense of connection through shared experiences of music and art. This can bring a fuller understanding of how artistic creation fosters the understanding, expression, and release of deep emotions, and, create greater appreciation of the power of music and art in enabling expression of the human spirit.

Self-Discovery, Choice, and Change

Join us in a two-evening interactive workshop in which we will be exploring the complex process by which each of us has created our unique sense of "self" and identity to date. Begin observing your "self" or identity through recognition of any special biological talents you may have inherited and gone on to develop. We will then dive into an examination of the many dimensions of culture and life experiences that have influenced who you are and see yourself to be. This workshop is intended to strengthen, in each of us, a greater awareness of the fact that we have the opportunity, choice, and challenge to be the "self" we want to be and/or become. Our workshop interaction will encourage a depth of meaning, joy, and humor.
