Bringing together jazz music and science as we celebrate the way that music affects our brains and bodies.
Join us for an unforgettable evening of jazz exploration as we delve into the emotional currents of music. We'll discuss how people react emotionally to music, explore what makes certain melodies resonate with our souls, and unravel the intricate interplay between the musician's intentions and the audience's perception.
Don't miss this unique opportunity to gain insights into the magic of music and its profound effect on our emotional landscape. Multi-instrumentalist, composer, and educator T.K. Blue will be joined by pianist Kelly Green and our guest speaker Joy Reeve, accomplished author and music educator and final-year doctoral student in Music Education at Teachers College. Come hear a little jazz and take part in a conversation on music and the emotions it evokes.
Music on the Brain is a collaboration between the National Jazz Museum in Harlem and Columbia University’s Zuckerman Institute, with the support of the Jazz Foundation of America.
