For seven nights and two mornings—from June 21 to 29—the Chelsea Music Festival offers concerts, conversations, and tastings. This year’s Festival, its 15th, is led by Artistic Directors Melinda Lee Masur and Ken-David Masur, and built around the theme “Connecting the Dots.”

Event organizers say that theme will unfold as various activities on the schedule “trace how music and art allow us to touch what seems intangible, repair what seems broken, and reimagine our interconnectedness with one another.” Focusing on the restorative powers of the arts, the Festival examines “ways that music and art both calm and reinvigorate the brain and nervous system. We will also explore together various neurological challenges and changes we can encounter in ourselves and our loved ones.”
