ROCHESTER, MN - General
Manager Steven J. Schmidt announced today that Riverside Concerts received an important grant from Mayo
Clinic to support its 2018 programming. The grant supports the Artist-in-the-Schools
residency program
and supports the
World Music Series
"Experiencing and engaging with music has been
fundamental to all societies across the ages. According to a recent study,
people who go to concerts on a regular basis are more content and generally
happier with their lives than those who do not. The study also emphasized the
importance of the communal element of concert-going, where one feels joy among
others feeling joy, essentially the best part of being human. An investment in
these communal musical experiences, is an investment in the overall health of our
community. We thank the Mayo Clinic for their ongoing support of our
organization, our work, and our constituents." said Riverside Concerts'
General Manager, Steven Schmidt.
