James Austin Smith
“For an oboist, James Austin Smith can deliver a punchline,” says The New York Times, which also describes Smith as “brilliant,” “virtuosic,” and “dazzling.” Join us in the casual and comfortable setting of the Resnick Education Wing for a unique event led by an artist who calls himself “a musician with a passion for communication, [who] specializes in deepening the listening experience through engaging commentary and attempted humor.” Well-Being Concerts invite audiences to be inspired by music in a communal setting while exploring ideas of mindfulness and self-care.
Audience members can choose from a variety of casual and comfortable seating options, with mats, cushions, and chairs all available on a first-come, first-served basis.
