45. World Science Festival 2009: Notes & Neurons, Part 5 of 5
4 months ago
"Notes & Neurons: In Search of the Common Chorus"

Is our response to music hard-wired or culturally determined? Is the reaction to rhythm and melody universal or influenced by environment? Join host John Schaefer, Jamshed Barucha, scientist Daniel Levitin, Professor Lawrence Parsons and musical artist Bobby McFerrin for live performances and cross cultural demonstrations to illustrate music’s note-worthy interaction with the brain and our emotions.

This segment features a special musical performance by Bobby McFerrin, Naren Budhkar on the tabla, Parag Chordia on the sarod, and Amber Docters van Leeuwen on the cello.

This event took place on June 12, 2009 in the Gerald Lynch Theater at the City University of New York.
