Connecting in new ways!
The well-being concert series is created in partnership with
Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute.
The 2026-2027 well-being concert season will be announced in early fall.

The Experience
Well-being concerts bring you closer to the healing, nurturing power of music. Each one is held in a quiet, relatively small
space, usually with no more than about 65 participants. You can recline on floor mats or cushions, or take a seat on a
chair. You’ll be on the same level as the performers, who are in the center of the space. The result is a more intimate
experience than a typical theater-style concert.
MUSIC FOR HEALTH
Each well-being concert is your time to step away from the swirl, reconnect with yourself, and maybe even forge new
connections with others. Our hope is that these wellness-focused musical experiences will:
- Offer a soul-nourishing new way to benefit from music.
- Use the power of silence and sound to create shared experiences that build community.
- Give you tools and practices that you can use long after the last note is played.
The concerts and artists presented will differ from FCA’s ongoing season. Each performer is carefully selected and is
consulted in creating a performance that matches this new format.
AUDIENCES
We welcome you to come as you are to this new and different way of listening to live music. The event is accompanied
with reminders to pause our daily lives and be mindful of the event. You’ll be able to look around and connect with other
attendees, and take time to look within yourself.
