“Feel the Music” Music & Science Expo | North Beach
Most of us have experienced joy, sadness, or fear while listening to a live musical performance or the score to a film. What can science tell us about how music and sound affect our brain and induce feelings?
“Feel the Music” is a two-day forum on music and the science of how it produces emotion, happening at swissnex San Francisco.
Over the course of two days, swissnex San Francisco and the NCCR Affective Sciences research center at the University of Geneva bring together renowned psychologists, neuropsychologists, engineers, literary theorists, artists, musicologists, musicians, entrepreneurs, and historians from around the world to discuss the latest research on music and emotion.
As part of the two-day forum, Feel the Music: Sound and Emotion, attend a live performance by opera singer Indre Viskontas and the chamber music quartet, Vocallective, exploring the connection between music and emotion.
Free, but an RSVP is required.
swissnex invites you to experience the power of music first-hand, from romantic string quartet pieces to contemporary works from American composer Osvaldo Golijov in the evening’s live performance. Viskontas helps guide the discussion with musicians, who talk about the emotional journey of playing.
