Music and the Urge to Creative Life Eduardo Gramaglia
Music is based on an urge to create forms which express not only beauty, but rather some sensed truth. How is the world of meaning (“the Harmony of the Spheres”) revealed through musical form? What role do meditation and creative imagination play in artistic creation? Eduardo Gramaglia is the pianist/harpsichordist of the String Orchestra of Córdoba, Argentina, and a writer on Hellenistic Astrology and Classical Studies. His presentation will include a brief performance.

The Power to Make All Things New: Redemption through Group Elevation Headquarters Group
