So, this week, we’d like to remind you that you can go to our website to learn about access to free online and phone lectures, seminars, topical discussions, interfaith news, world class performances just for example, Yo-Yo Ma, Natalie Cole, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and jazz at Lincoln Center and so much more. These resources are available because of the remarkable blend of two major players in the field of aging well nonprofit senior living industry leader Mather, and an esteemed arts and education organization, the Chautauqua Institution.
