With Professor Morten L. Kringelbach, Associate Professor and Senior Research Fellow, Department of Psychiatry, University of Oxford speaker


THE SCIENCE 

Music is not just pleasurable but often highly meaningful. Professor Morten L. Kringelbach talks us through the neuroscience of music and how it contributes to the experience of eudaimonia, a life well-lived.

THE MUSIC 
This cantata is a dialogue between fear (reinforced by the alto) and hope (that’s the tenor); a fitting accompaniment to a talk about the different thoughts and feelings that music can evoke.
