“The mediator between head and hands must be the heart!”

Where do we turn when the world frightens or confuses us? With music, we can respond and find meaning in that which we cannot describe with words or pictures alone. Join us in the fight to be human, exploring the ways in which composers make sense of their times by using the orchestra alongside painting and film.

Double Take: The Human Effect is designed by Fellows Mark Grisez, Joseph Peterson and Kip Riecken under the mentorship of NWS Artistic Director, Michael Tilson Thomas. Fellow-driven projects are sponsored in part by the Maxine and Stuart Frankel Foundation.
