A program of music, film and conversation about the power of music to heal will be presented live and online on Saturday, April 16 at Chalice Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Conejo Valley in Newbury Park. The 7:30 p.m. presentation and concert, organized by Chalice Community Forum, will highlight the work of Project: Music Heals Us, a nonprofit that brings the healing qualities of music to those in desperate need of human connection and the sense of community that live music can provide. The organization's work in hospitals and prisons has earned recognition from music luminaries like Yo-Yo Ma and Emanuel Ax and is highlighted in the recent Cannes Film Festival award-winning documentary "The Sound of Us." The program will include works by Brahms, Mendelssohn, Stravinsky and Rebecca Clarke, discussion, and a screening of an excerpt from "The Sound of Us." The world-class musicians who will perform are Dominic Cheli, piano; Aubree Oliverson, violin; and Andrew Janss, Cello. Cheli recently debuted at Walt Disney Concert Hall and he has won a place on the coveted roster of the Concert Artists Guild, which supports and empowers impactful young artists. Oliverson made her concerto debut with the Utah Symphony at age 11, and since then the 23-year-old violinist has continued to perform all over the world, most recently with the Pasadena Symphony. Janss is the Executive Director of Project: Music Heals Us. During the pandemic, he brought one-on-one live-streamed concerts to more than 10,000 individual patients in isolation. Yo-Yo Ma has nominated him for an Emerson Collective fellowship for his creativity and talent in advancing bold new projects. The evening at Chalice Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 3327 Old Conejo Road in Newbury Park, will begin with a 7 p.m. welcome reception, followed by the presentation and concert at 7:30 and a meet-the-musicians reception at 8:45. Proof of vaccination must be shown at the door and masks must be worn by all attendees while indoors. A limited number of tickets for the live program are available for a requested minimum donation of $25. A donation of $10 is suggested for the 7:30 live stream, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
