Description

Music is a language that deeply affects who we are and how we feel. If our environment of listening has the ability to control our emotional state, how can we curate our playlists in life to foster thinking, learning, growth, and joy. Cellist MaryGrace Bender pursues a multi-faceted career in performance, recording, and music education. As a Suzuki teacher, Bender seeks to reach every child through music. As an avid collaborative and chamber musician, Bender founded the Nashville Chamber Music Society and performs on a regular basis with NCMS. Most recently, Bender taught and performed at Lincoln Center’s Restart Stages series as a faculty member for BridgeMusik in NYC. Bender is currently on faculty at Union University, regularly records for local studios such as Oceanway and Darkhorse. She enjoys touring with local groups such as Harvest Arts and Eric Genuis and performs with nearby orchestras such as the Huntsville Symphony, the Jackson Symphony, the Charlotte Symphony, and the Nashville Symphony. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
