Classical Music Has Been Shown in Studies to Lower Stress Levels, Aid Sleep Quality, Reduce Blood Pressure and Fight Depression

With its noise, negativity and clutter, social media is making us angrier, stressed and depressed, raising our blood pressure and affecting the quality of our sleep. The Discovery Orchestra has a solution — classical music —which has been shown in studies to lower stress levels, aid sleep quality, reduce blood pressure and fight depression.

Led by Founder and Artistic Director George Marriner Maull, The Discovery Orchestra makes a welcome return to the concert stage after a pandemic break for an exploration of French composer Camille Saint-Saëns epic masterwork Symphony No. 3 in C Minor (the “Organ” Symphony).

Featuring a 90-piece orchestra, Discover Saint-Saëns’ “Organ” Symphony is projected to begin a three-year national distribution by American Public Television in May 2023.

WHO: The Discovery Orchestra and its Founder and Artistic Director George Marriner Maull, featuring the Plainfield-based organist Mark Miller and West Nyack-based concertmaster Peter Winograd.
