Hello, thanks for coming by! My name is Ben and I’m a trumpeter and scholar based in New Haven, CT. I’m passionate about the transformative power of music to build meaningful community and reflect the depths of the human condition.
The Music & Reconciliation Project
How can music…
Facilitate reconciliation in the context of diversity and division?
Contribute to actions of personal, environmental, and social healing?
Open a person’s heart?
I am exploring these questions through a project combining academic inquiry, spiritual practice, and community engagement. Check out my blog to follow along with project as it develops, where I invite you to contribute any questions and thoughts along the way as well.
