Composer/pianist/therapist to Improvise a Concert

Canadian pianist Marilyn Lerner’s bio reveals a number of intriguing details: Not only is she interested in 20th-century concert music, jazz, creative improvisation and klezmer, but she also is a practicing psychotherapist. She’ll be discussing the intersection of music and therapy, particularly object relations psychology, in an open-to-the-public Artist Discussion on Friday as part of New Music New College’s 2012-2013 season, as well as a discussion of “Psychoanalysis, Gender, and Jazz” with the New College Gender Studies Program on Friday morning that is open only to New College students, faculty and staff.
