New On Our Blog
Stress levels are at an all-time high for many of us as we continue to navigate life in a pandemic. You may find that some of your usual healthy coping strategies are not working like they used to. This may be a result of the long-term nature of the pandemic and how are bodies have become fatigued over time.

Maybe it’s time for a new coping strategy!
St. Cecilia Music Center Virtual Jazz Series
One of the ways SCMC plans to plan to bring the music to you this fall is through a five-concert virtual jazz series.

Now through November 4, SCMC will offer five FREE live-stream concerts through our Facebook page and YouTube Channel. All residents can tune in at 7pm to hear these great Michigan jazz pianists every other week in the comfort of your own home.

Independent Living Residents can join us in the Auditorium and Community Room for a live-screening of these concerts. Sign up with the Concierge.
XAVIER DAVIS
Thursday, September 24

Xavier Davis' professional career as a jazz pianist took off when the legendary vocalist Betty Carter brought Xavier to New York, hiring him exclusively as the pianist of her working trio.

Today, Xavier is one of the most accomplished jazz pianists worldwide. Having led master classes and clinics all over the world and coming from a family of music educators, passing on knowledge and skills to young musicians is very important to Xavier. As such, he is proud to be Associate Professor of Jazz Piano at Michigan State University. Xavier was also member of the teaching staff in the Jazz department of the Juilliard School of Music in New York for six years prior to that.
