This week’s video will show you how to activate your senses to find your inner sommelier and musician.

When sommeliers are sipping a glass of wine, what do they taste? When musicians are creating records in the studio, what do they hear? We’ll explore their processes to open you up to new perspectives and ways to experience. 

This is a pre-recorded video that will be added to our Virtual Event Series. The videos will be permanently hosted on our Vimeo Showcase Page so you can watch at your convenience, at any time.
