How do our brains and music work in harmony?
This multi-media Valentine’s Day concert and lecture is a collaboration between the Portland Chamber Orchestra and Science on Tap, using music, visuals and science to show how our brains and music work in harmony. Audiences will enjoy world-class performances of modern and classical love songs while gaining perspectives on learning to play, teaching, how to practice and perform, the ways we react to music, and why the brain benefits from musical experiences. The program includes:
- Neuroscientist, public speaker, and lifelong musician Dr. Larry Sherman, who co-authored the popular book Every Brain Needs Music: The Neuroscience of Making and Listening to Music
- Grammy award-winning, Hopi-Nez Perce Native American flutist James Edmund Greeley
- Internationally acclaimed gospel, jazz and blues singer Marilyn Keller
- Singer, composer, pianist and recording artist Naomi LaViolette, and
- Members of the Portland Chamber Orchestra
Music- and science-lovers from all walks of life will enjoy this unique show, and will experience both wonderful old and new music while gaining fresh perspectives on the roles of music – and love – in their lives.
