Some of the Wesleyan students in Noah Baerman’s course “Experiments in Public Life: Creating and Presenting Socially Conscious Music” met with the Jonah Center, Community Health Center, Gilead Community Services, Oddfellows Playhouse, and Artists for World Peace, to find inspiration for their projects.  Our readers can listen to  the resulting 5 compositions and 12 others here.

The composition that emerged from the Jonah Center interview, “Vernal Piano” by Emma Mistele, is included in the above album, but its introduction and recording can also be found here
