    In this all-ages activity, families are invited to explore their musical brains! Music neuroscientist and artistic creator, Dr. Jessica, will lead children to sing and move along to songs from her children's musical Finding Rhythm: A journey through the musical brain. Dr. Jessica is joined by clarinetist Yasmina Speigelberg for interactive musical fun. Children are welcome to participate in the ways that are comfortable for them, which may include moving to the rhythms or simply coloring in their own Finding Rhythm Musical Brain coloring sheet!

    Inspired by its Chelsea roots, the Festival reflects the creativity of one of New York City's most dynamic neighborhoods. Programs span musical genres ranging from classical to contemporary to jazz with a special emphasis on Festival commissions by composers whose works are not in the traditional western canon. On the digital programming front, the Festival hosts an online library of recordings so music enthusiasts, artists, and students alike can explore unique interpretations of classical, jazz, and contemporary works via high-quality videos of world-class performances and dialogues available for years to come.

    Since 2010, the Chelsea Music Festival has established itself as a critically-acclaimed, accessible and interactive gateway to chamber music in non-traditional concert spaces such as art galleries, public squares, schools, and churches. Artists hail from around the world to partake in nearly two weeks of programming complete with concerts, lectures, exhibitions, family events, and free outreach performances. In 2020, the Chelsea Music Festival inaugurated its Online Encores and Online Originals digital video series on YouTube; Online Encores presents highlights from Festival archives and past concerts while Online Originals presents new and never-before-seen performances and recordings.

    We are proud to give emerging voices, particularly those of women and people of color, a stage and are working to build an audience and intimate community to support a new generation of musicians, composers, and artists.
