Music, Math & Mind with CU Professor Dr. David Sulzer
Join us and our friends at the Columbia Clubs of DC and New Jersey to listen to Columbia Professor David Sulzer lecture on the Physics and Neuroscience of Music.
Learn how the perception of music encompasses the physics of sound, the functions of the ear and deep-brain auditory pathways and the physiology of emotion.
He makes accessible a vast range of material, helping the audience discover the universal principles behind the music they find meaningful.
Time will be allocated for Q&A.
