This summer, the Aspen Science Center and the Aspen Music Festival and School bring back the popular Science of Music series of lectures and demonstrations aimed at the “enthusiastic novice.” No previous knowledge of physics or music theory is needed to enjoy these explorations.
Music-lovers already know how music can affect the soul, but its impact on the brain may seem like murkier territory. Dr. Robert Zatorre of the Montreal Neurological Institute returns to join Alan Fletcher for a lecture that reveals the complex relationship between music and our cognitive functions.
