Rutgers University and Carnegie Hall have signed an agreement designating Rutgers as an official partner for Carnegie Hall’s Well-Being Concerts. This initiative, established by Carnegie Hall in 2023, connects musical performance with evidence-informed practices meant to bolster health, reflection, and social connection.
The partnership positions Rutgers among the first institutions nationally to collaborate directly with Carnegie Hall in expanding the Well-Being Concert model beyond New York City.
The inaugural Rutgers Well-Being Concert, featuring Rutgers violinist Christina Bouey, will take place at the university’s Zimmerli Art Museum at 71 Hamilton Street in New Brunswick, at 5 p.m. April 9, 2026, as the culminating event of the Art Heals symposium. The concert is free and open to the public, but tickets are limited and can be reserved through the symposium registration page. This concert is created in partnership with Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute.
