Stress factors such as pandemics, environmental disasters, war or flight can have a lasting impact on babies both during pregnancy and after birth.  Parental stress has long-term effects for several generations. Creative interventions can significantly reduce these effects. This was demonstrated in the scientific study “Creativity during pregnancy”, launched in September 2021 in collaboration with obstetricians, scientists and members of the Berliner Philharmoniker.

Further information

Within six months, six concerts and five workshops will take place at two- to three-week intervals, with suggestions for making music at home and listening to (classical) music. The events are accompanied by obstetricians and scientists with non-invasive examinations and surveys. In collaboration with the Clara Angela Foundation, our “Creativity during pregnancy” study is investigating the positive effects of a specially developed music programme on both those expecting and their unborn children.
