Let’s Talk Burnout, Music as Medicine

What if music is more than something we make, perform or listen to?What if it can also help us heal? On Monday October 5th Hugh's Room Live hosts MUSIC AS MEDICINE, bringing artists and community members together for an evening exploring the relationship between creativity, music and mental wellbeing. Part three of the series 'Let's Talk Burnout', the evening will begin with a live musical performance by Mimi O'Bonsawin, followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A and will close with an informal opportunity to connect and continue the conversation with artists, panelists and fellow members of the community. The evening will be led by singer-songwriter, filmmaker and educator Andrea Ramolo, whose documentary The South explores the traditional music, dance and healing rituals of Salento in southern Italy, where there are traditions that see music and dance as powerful tools for healing and community. Andrea will moderate a conversation with artists/panelists about the ways creativity can support us through difficult times, and the different ways music be used as and around healing and medicine. The panel will also consider the balance between creating for ourselves and creating as a profession. How can we maintain a creative practice without allowing the pressures of the music industry to turn something restorative into another source of burnout? This is a free event, and registration is encouraged to ensure your spot for this special evening. Presented by Revelios, Hugh’s Room and Creative Arts Financial
