“The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra is thrilled to provide students with the opportunity for life-changing personal growth and artistic discovery through symphonic music. We are deeply grateful for the support of Community Health Network which allows us to offer these experiences to young people in our community,” said James M. Johnson, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra Chief Executive Officer.
“Community Health Network continues to be a proud supporter of this learning experience, which enhances the health and well-being of the students who participate,” said Patrick Adsit, Executive Director of Pediatrics and School Based Care, Community Health Network. “Over the past two decades, studies have demonstrated that music education has multiple favorable effects on a host of mental and functional processes, it literally changes the brain structure. Musical training has been shown to have a positive effect beyond the impact on hearing, speech and coordination including improving IQ levels and school grades among many other benefits.”
