Explore how musical performances can be intentionally crafted to support community health and mental wellness in The Well-Being Concert Model virtual workshop on Wednesday, June 24. Sam Livingston, Senior Director of Operations at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute, will introduce this innovative concert model and share practical strategies for how Montana presenting organizations can adopt its principles—either in-part or in-whole—to serve their local audiences. Joining the conversation, Jessica Catron, Founding Executive Director of the Missoula Crescendo Club, will provide local context by sharing her firsthand experience implementing well-being concerts in Missoula, including successful community-centered events at the local library. This interactive session is designed for both artists and presenters, focusing on utilizing existing local resources and basic production values to create high-impact, wellness-focused arts programming that is accessible to every Montana community.
