Orchestrating Change - Meaningful Movies

March 26th 2:00pm



FREE FILM SCREENING FOLLOWED BY AN IMPACTFUL DISCUSSION WITH SPECIAL GUESTS FROM OUR VERY OWN LOCAL ORGANIZATION, TACOMA AREA COALITION OF INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES (TACID).

Orchestrating Change tells the inspiring story of the only orchestra in the world created by and for people living with mental illness and those who support them. The mission of Me2/Orchestra is to erase mental health stigma one concert at a time. 

Ronald Braunstein was on a trajectory to being one of the world's leading conductors. After graduating from Juilliard, at age twenty-four, he was the first American to win the Von Karajan Conducting Competition and went on to conduct major orchestras including the Berlin Philharmonic, the San Francisco Symphony, and the Tokyo Symphony, among many others. When he made his diagnosis of bipolar disorder public, he was shunned by the classical music community. Terminated from his last position with a community orchestra and nearly destitute, Braunstein decided to start an orchestra for people like himself.
