CONDUCTORCISE NAMED ONE OF NORTH AMERICA’S
MOST
INNOVATIVE ACTIVE AGING PROGRAMS
Bedford Hills, NY, October
5, 2008 -- The International
Council on Active Aging has just chosen David Dworkin’s popular
new fitness fusion, CONDUCTORCISE®, as one of North America's
six most innovative active aging programs. This comes on the
heels of a stellar season including feature segments on NBC’s
Today Show and New Jersey Network Television, as well as tours
throughout the US, including a stop in New York City for its
Summer Streets program. |
 |
CONDUCTORCISE® has traveled far and wide in live programs across
America since it began just a few years ago. Called “a symphony
performance, music history lesson, and aerobics workout all rolled into
one” by The Times-Picayune of New Orleans, CONDUCTORCISE® has
excited and intrigued audiences from coast to coast. Dworkin has successfully
brought his program to people of all ages, from pre-school children and
teenagers to healthy seniors and those in assisted-living facilities,
as well as stroke and Alzheimer’s patients. Combining the musical,
educational, and aerobic, CONDUCTORCISE® gets participants enthused
about classical music, and keeps them engaged, thinking, and in
motion.
During Dworkin‘s distinguished career as a clarinetist and conductor,
he has performed with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, American Symphony
Orchestra, Manhattan School of Music Symphony, Vermont Symphony, and
many others, and was music director for three PBS television documentaries
in the series Grow Old With Me: The Poetry of Aging and for the CBS-TV
production of Kurt Weill’s Three Penny Opera.
The International Council on Active Aging (ICAA) is dedicated to changing
the way people age by uniting professionals in the retirement, assisted
living, fitness, rehabilitation and wellness fields to dispel society's
myths about aging.
