The Neuroscience of Pleasure

Patricia Reser Center for the Arts

This multi-media Valentine’s Day concert and lecture is a collaboration between the Portland Chamber Orchestra and Science on Tap, using music, visuals, and science to show how our brains and music work in harmony. Music is considered in all the ways we encounter it―teaching, learning, practicing, listening, composing, improvising, and performing―showing how the brain functions and even changes in the process. Audiences will enjoy world-class performances of modern and classical love songs while gaining perspectives on learning to play, teaching, how to practice and perform, the ways we react to music, and why the brain benefits from musical experiences.
