Actor Alec Baldwin: On the Healing Power of Music (Video)

About the Video

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. 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.

On September 19, 2026, he joined celebrated broadcaster Terrance McKnight for a conversation on PUC’s “Music & Healing” series about how music has guided him through life’s challenges and the enduring power of listening, reflection, and creativity. This film, produced by Princeton University Concerts in collaboration with There We Go Films, was created to contextualize this conversation.
