Michigan State University’s Tasha Warren knows music has the ability to inspire and transform people. The director of the Chamber Music Program at MSU is on a mission to break down the invisible barrier that separates musicians and audiences.
Warren partnered with an MSU graduate student who is a certified music therapist to create the first sensory-friendly Spartan chamber music concert where community members of all ages, including those with sensory sensitivities, enjoyed musical performances while participating from the audience.
“For many kids, this may be their first experience in a concert hall, and we want to make it an unforgettable moment,” says Warren.
