Why Music Matters
it’s in the data
Perhaps you’ve seen the studies… we all need more rest and less stress, right? But what does that really mean? Here is some evidence that points to the incredible benefits of being with us in person for concert experiences:
Less Stress
On average, cortisol levels dropped by 20-30% after listening to calming music for just 15–30 minutes.
Think of how great you’ll feel after one of our 70 minute shows!
Better Sleep
When listening to music in the evening, people report significantly better sleep quality and lower levels of depressive symptoms.
Let’s all plan for a good night’s sleep after an evening of listening!
EMOTIONAL WELLBEING
71% of people said that listening to classical music helps them feel “emotionally uplifted.”
Woo hoo! I’m feeling good just hearing that statistic!
