AUSOM Concert & Lecture Series: Christina Gentile

On Thursday, January 30, the Acadia School of Music Concert & Lecture Series presents “Breath Power: Enhance Your Health and Musical Performance” - a talk by Christina Gentile.
 
In this session, we will delve into the physiological and psychological aspects of breath control, examining how it shapes our musical experiences and personal resilience. We will explore the biological factors that underpin breathing and introduce the ancient practice of pranayama, which enhances focus and mental stability. Join us as we uncover how mastering the art of breath can elevate both musical performance and mental health, fostering a more holistic approach to music and life.
 
Ms. Gentile works at the Counselling Centre at Acadia University and is also a certified yoga instructor, as well as a former professional musician.   
 
This event begins at 1:00pm in FESTIVAL THEATRE.
 
Concert & Lecture Series events are free and all are welcome to attend – please join us!
