Music on My Brain: A Conversation with Daniel J. Levitin and Rosanne Cash

Please join us for this Reno Family Foundation Symposia event, part of the Celebrity Science Series.

How does music evoke our emotions? Why does music play such an important role in our lives? Join us for a noteworthy evening with neuroscientist Daniel Levitin and artist Rosanne Cash. Levitin is a rock star of science who has worked with Sting, David Bryne, and others. Cash, who has been performing, recording, and writing songs for 30 years and is the daughter of the legendary Johnny Cash, underwent brain surgery in 2007 and brings a unique perspective to music on our minds.
