Music across cultures, the relationship of music to spirituality, music’s affect on our health and well-being, and music as a new tool in fighting the deterioration of the aging brain and promoting mental fitness—these are all themes explored in the Library’s popular Music and the Brain series. Programming continues this season with an expanded roster of thought-provoking events, including 12 lectures, a special panel on music and grief, four onstage interviews with artists, a stress reduction workshop using music therapy techniques and a mini-series offering composer documentaries by the Dutch filmmaker Frank Scheffer.
