                                                                                                           "There exists an unspoken convention between the author and the reader, whereby the former calls himself patient,
                                                                             
    and accepts the other as his nurse. The roles are arbitrarily interchangeable." (Lautreamont)

                                                                                 Lautreamont Concerts and its artists is dedicated to improving the lives of the New York community, by performing concerts for 
                                                                                 underserved audiences at hospitals and nursing homes. Recent performances have taken place at
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer
                                                                                 Center
, the Jewish Home and Hospital on the Upper West Side, and the Margaret Tietz Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Queens.

                                                                                 We are also interested in collaborating with health-care facilities, particularly in the areas of neurological research, music therapy for 
                                                                                 stroke victimes, and  for  Alzheimer  and memory disorder programs.  Lautreamont  Concerts  will  be  the  resident ensemble at the

Composing Concertos in the Key of Rx
Published: March 25, 2009

Healers of many sorts try to harness music for therapeutic purposes, if only as an adjunct to crystals, perfumes and green tea.

THE MOZART EFFECT
THE MOZART EFFECT
Thursday 12 December 2002

"The Mozart Effect" is the name attributed to psychologists' findings in 1993, that playing Mozart to their subjects increases their spatial-temporal reasoning. 
Today Mozart's music is used in a variety of non-musical applications from healing clinics to the classroom. Paul Robertson explores the evidence.
