Build Your SeasonWhat's more beautiful and can just break you apart more than a great symphony?"
—Alec Baldwin
Music & Healing
About the Event
Alec Baldwin’s life has been lived very publicly, from acclaimed roles on stage and screen to personal experiences often shared in the media. Amid it all, classical music has remained a constant refuge—a space for reflection, renewal, and quiet clarity. “I’m often disappointed when at the movies,” he admits. “I’m sometimes disappointed when I go to the theater—and I’m never disappointed when I go to the Symphony.” As host of The New York Philharmonic This Week and a collaborator with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Baldwin has shared this passion with audiences nationwide, while also exploring how it has sustained him personally. Join us for an intimate conversation, moderated by celebrated broadcaster Terrance McKnight and permeated by live music played by pianist Tony Siqi Yun, about how music has guided him through life’s challenges and the enduring power of listening, reflection, and creativity.
