In 2007, MTGIC began a concert series advocating the aesthetic and healing powers of music to bring awareness to patrons in the concert hall of these benefits.  The concerts typically include works written by composers affected by neurologic disease or trauma such as Messiaen (born with synaesthasia) and Beethoven (suffered from deafness).  Preceding the concert events are a series of lectures to inform both therapeutic professionals and concert goers of the structural content of music and how it can be used to redirect neural networks.
 

Lecture logistics

• During the week of the concert, lectures are presented at agencies supporting special needs children
• Pre-concert lectures are presented before the actual concert

Sample Program content

• Messiaen Theme and Variations for violin and piano
• Beethoven Sonata in A, op. 47 (Kreutzer) for violin and piano
