Created by neuroscientist Dr. Larry Sherman (OHSU) and musician-educator Dennis Plies, the program explores how the brain processes rhythm, melody, and emotion while featuring live musicians from the Portland Chamber Orchestra. This is not a typical concert—it’s an engaging, informative journey into the neuroscience behind music, perfect for curious minds and music lovers alike.
