Piano Concert

02.22.2014

​John Dunkersloot, M4, will be playing performing for us at Joel's home. 

Responses after the performance: 
  • It was a very relaxing evening, which I needed because I had a very hard exam earlier that day. It helped me forget my medical school woes and put life in perspective. Additionally, hearing John play and thinking about how he managed to balance medical school and piano made me reevaluate how I spend my free time and reflect upon changes I can make to help have a more balanced life.
  • I think that the composers of the various pieces had to draw from their own emotional experiences when creating their music, using it to reflect their mental state, whether it was bright and eager or somber and gloomy. As physicians we also go through a wide range of emotions, often in the same day, from the joy of a patient whose life we improved, to the sadness of an ill patient passing away. The music gives us an outlet to externalize these emotions, whether we are the performer or the audience.
  • Attending this concert reminded me of how rich the human experience can be. I feel like I get so focused on day to day life on the wards, studying, talking about medicine, and thinking about medical topics that I forget that most people have interests or professions in totally different fields. I think that music is something that can connect me with those people.​
