Save the Date! MOZART and FREUD VISIT NEW YORK CITY
Thursday, October 9, 2014, 8:00 – 10:00pm, Collation to follow

These two icons engage in a lively discussion about their feelings regarding music and psychoanalysis.

Following Freud and Mozart’s discussion, the entire Sonata will be performed by Louis Nagel. Continue reading Mozart and Freud Visit New York City with CFS
