“I Heard There Was a Secret Chord: Music as Medicine with author Daniel J. Levitin”

Hosted by Daniel J. Levitin

Music is one of humanity’s oldest medicines. From the Far East to the Ottoman Empire, Europe to Africa and the pre-colonial Americas, many cultures have developed their own rich traditions for using sound and rhythm to ease suffering, promote healing, and calm the mind.

In his latest work, neuroscientist and New York Times best-selling author Daniel J. Levitin (This Is Your Brain on Music) explores the curative powers of music, showing us how and why it is one of the most potent therapies today. He brings together, for the first time, the results of numerous studies on music and the brain, demonstrating how music can contribute to the treatment of a host of ailments, from neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, to cognitive injury, depression, and pain.

Please join us on Monday, November 18th at 2:00 p.m. Eastern / 11:00 a.m. Pacific to hear Levitin discuss his latest work, I Heard There Was a Secret Chord: Music as Medicine, published by W. W. Norton & Co. We'll reserve time for open Q&A with attendees, too, so we hope to see you there!
