Harmonium Choral Society invites you to a free watch party and virtual premiere of Open Minds to benefit The Mental Health Association in New Jersey. Composed by Rob Redei with poetry by Deborah Kennedy, Open Minds gives voice to people with mental health challenges and those who love and care about them. Frank and sometimes funny, it’s a hopeful call for unity.
Watch on Harmonium’s YouTube channel – Sunday, September 13th at 7 pm: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaFGbc0LOV_cF-sYtjqHDEQ (Copy and paste this link into your browser.) The hour-long video is from live concerts right before quarantine, in the gorgeous acoustic of the Presbyterian Church in Morristown. Visit the Open Minds website for more information and to view the score: https://openmindssavelives.org/ (Copy and paste into your browser.) During the stream, there will be an opportunity to donate to The Mental Health Association in New Jersey, the non-profit that has supported the care and recovery of people in New Jersey with mental health and substance use disorders for over 75 years. MHANJ intends to use the funds for support groups during the pandemic. Visit their website: https://www.mhanj.org/ (Copy and paste into your browser.) Please join us in raising awareness of those coping with these challenges. We hope to bring discussion of mental health into the open, without stigma. |
