In Portland, Oregon ArtsWatch’s Matthew Neil Andrews is writing a series about classical music and meaning. For instance: We know music can help people process trauma (think of the Boston Symphony playing Beethoven’s Funeral March from the Eroica the afternoon JFK was murdered) – but what if it’s designed to do that? Does that change the experience? And “the main question is whether using music to address these issues is appropriate and effective. What good do these shows do, in terms of actually stimulating change?” – Oregon ArtsWatch
