medical and psychiatric perspective and will perform

glorious music.

concert pianist and as a psychiatrist. He has been
praised for his “eloquent, compelling and exquisite
playing” by the New York Times and the Boston Globe
wrote that “Kogan has somehow managed to excel
at the world’s two most demanding professions.” He
has gained international renown for his groundbreaking
work on the connections between music and
healing and on the influence of medical
and psychiatric illnesses on thecreative output of
composers such as Mozart Beethoven, Schumann,
Tchaikovsky, and Gershwin. His work forms the basis
for the Yamaha DVD series entitled “Richard Kogan:
Music and the Mind”.
Dr. Kogan is a graduate of the Juilliard School of Music
