Joe shares methods of calming, listening, and cultivating awareness through simple and accessible mindfulness practices that introduce students to his songwriting process. Creative brainstorming and song development are modeled together in the group so that students can continue to write songs on their own.

Sensory-Friendly Concert
Join us for a 45-minute interactive concert featuring a solo acoustic set of music by the great Joe Reilly. This free sensory-friendly concert welcomes individuals with neurodiversity and/or intellectual or developmental disabilities with their families and/or caregiver(s). Arrive early to enjoy hands-on activities from 2–3pm.
"Sensory-friendly" events are designed for individuals on the autism spectrum and with other sensory sensitivities. Our culture can be unforgiving if you're unable to conform to the standard concert etiquette of quietly sitting still for extended periods. This excludes individuals who are unable to sit still or who may express emotions such as joy or excitement through vocalization. This sensory-friendly concert aims to remove barriers, allowing everyone to be themselves and enjoy a musical experience in a safe and judgement-free environment.
