How Do We Listen to Music?

How does the brain turn sound into musical experience? What do composers and performers contribute, what can a recording preserve, and what do we hear when we listen more closely? Join us at Muzikos magijos klubas for an evening of discussion about listening to music. We will listen to recordings, share our experiences and consider what helps music reach us. Everyone is welcome to join the conversation and hear how others listen.

During the evening, Artašėsas Gazarianas will also briefly introduce his book How Do We Listen to Music? It brings together neuroscience, music psychology and sound technology with the perspective of a lifelong music lover. The questions raised in the book will add to the discussion about what we experience when listening to classical music, jazz and music from other cultures.

Ticket holders can use €10 towards purchases at the club, including the book, recordings and gifts. If an item costs more, they only pay the difference. Anyone who buys the book before the event can attend without an additional ticket. The book can be pre-ordered and collected at the club from 1 December.
