Concerts in Motion gathered
music enthusiasts and friends at the
Upper West Side duplex of Navah Perlman (board
member)
and Robert Frost for an intimate performance.
"I am an opera singer. To prepare, I like to rehearse in
front of a live audience so I thought that nursing homes and
veterans’ hospitals would be an ideal setting, especially as
so many older adults cannot attend live concerts. They're
alone and isolated", shared Founder and Executive Director Jennifer
Carnahan. "14 years ago, I started Concerts in Motion
because I experienced an incredible sense of joy while
singing and engaging these individuals. They appreciated the
quality of performance and the kind gesture. They really
enjoyed talking about memories that the music evoked. We
strive to alleviate social isolation for young and old. It's
an epidemic now and our way of addressing this public health
crisis is by creating community and connection through
music."
Pianist Alex Shapiro and Cellist Aviva Frost
(daughter of Navah and Robert) played variations by Frédéric
Chopin and Reena Esmail.
Guests included board members Rhett Brandon, Shari
and Adam Brooks, Roni Jacobson, Debi Korzenik, Monica Rich
Kosann, as well as Nora Coblence, Irene Rosner David,
Mark Fichandler, Ronnie Fisher, Marilyn and Shelly Fireman,
Margaret and Ben Grossman, Sylvia Hemmingway, Alice Lutz,
Tara Milne, Caryn Resnick, Kathy Roeder, Jonathan Rondinelli,
Lesley Schulhoff, Eileen Solomon, Sara Tayeb-Khalifa,
Patricia Underwood and John Moynihan, Nassrin Iromloo Zahedi, and Maggie
Zhang with son Tom Liu.
CiM is a non-profit that brings the healing force of music
