Tonight at Perelman Theater, PCMS concludes our Arts on the Mind festival with the Philadelphia premiere of Marc Neikrug`s "A Song by Mahler," a music theater piece that speaks to the role of music in dementia therapy.

“The arts have a role for creating connection with other people,” said Dr. Jason Karlawish, co-director of the Penn Memory Center. “For giving meaning and maintaining a healthy mind despite disease.”

"Jennifer Johnson Cano is intensely ardent, arrogant and brave. With her commanding stage presence and dusky, arresting mezzo-soprano, she is exceptionally well cast. She intones Mahler`s melodies stunningly, and her keen dramatic skills inhabit every moment of her performance and every aspect of her multifaceted character." - Classical Source`s 2022 review of "A Song by Mahler."

PCMS presents Marc Neikrug`s "A Song by Mahler" on Wednesday, 5/15 at Perelman Theater. This work of music theater, starring mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnson Cano and baritone Ryan Bradford, centers on the changing realities of two characters: a concertizing singer who is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s and her husband, who is also her accompanist.

🎟 Tickets are available via our website or by calling the PCMS Box Office at 215-569-8080.
