The sound of anxiety: A psychoanalytic listening

 The symposium "The Sound of Anxiety: A Psychoanalytic Listening" bridges psychoanalytic theory and elite musical practice to examine the systemic mental health crisis in the classical music industry.
 Featuring psychoanalyst Julio Bodo alongside Wiener Musikakademie directors Liina Leijala and Boris Perrenoud, the event moves beyond standard stress-management techniques. It provides a deep clinical examination of how rigid traditions, institutional pressures, and the relentless pursuit of perfection structurally impact the performing artist's psyche.
