Register

As May 17 approaches, we are pleased to share a glimpse of the musical landscape that awaits us at our salon concert with Ari Livne.

Curated especially for this intimate setting, the afternoon’s program will move across a rich expressive terrain — from lyric inwardness to moments of brilliance and virtuosity. In a private home, with listeners seated just feet from the instrument, familiar works often reveal new detail and unexpected depth. Subtle shifts of color, breath between phrases, the shaping of silence — all become part of the shared experience.

Salon performances offer something increasingly rare: sustained attention. A room gathered in quiet listening. The resonance of the piano unfolding not across a vast hall, but within a space small enough to feel collective presence.

We look forward to welcoming approximately 35 guests for light hors d’oeuvres and refreshments beginning at 5:00 pm, followed by the performance.

A contribution of $200 reserves your seat. Guests who wish to further support the educational mission of the Northwest Psychoanalytic Society & Institute are warmly invited to do so.

If you have been meaning to register, we encourage you to do so soon, as seating remains limited.

We hope you will join us for what promises to be a memorable and contemplative afternoon of music and connection.

Warm regards,

Carolyn Steinberg, MD, FRCPC, FIPA
President
Northwest Psychoanalytic Society & Institute
