Reflections of the Heart: Musical Meditations to Peaceful Healing
Grief is without a doubt a journey, and music has the power to illuminate its path. “Reflections of the Heart: Musical Meditations to Peaceful Healing” is an expressive piano recital series exploring the emotional journey through grief and finding meaning after loss. Featuring works by New Hampshire native, Amy Beach, Chopin, Debussy and Rachmaninoff, the program observes the stages of grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—through deeply expressive and reminiscent music. Rachmaninov’s lush harmonies, Debussy’s emotional depth through sound, Chopin’s introspective lyricism, and Beach’s tender sensitivity guide listeners through heaviness of heart and searching for inner peace. Through collective and communal reflection, may these musical meditations offer you comfort, healing, and a reminder that love endures far beyond any loss.
