Keynote Sessions & Performances
Making Magic with Martin Guitar
For over 180 years, Martin Guitar has been “the” choice for the best musicians on the planet, from the icons of rock, pop, country, folk, and bluegrass to classical and flamenco players of every age. But what makes them special? Close your eyes and hear for yourself, as their guitars will be played by some of the folks who build them.
Music Therapy with Molly Hicks
Molly is a music therapist and bereavement coordinator at Penn Wissahickon Hospice in the Philadelphia area. She also serves on the Allied Therapies Steering Committee of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. What she does for people in their worst of times is something that’s indescribable. What she does for the rest of us is something to marvel, and reason enough to attend this event.
