Kate Molleson surveys the musical world’s responses to mental wellbeing during Mental Health Awareness Week. Opera star Renée Fleming talks about her ‘Music and Mind Live’ webinar series, which explores the impact of music on human health and the brain; and we hear, too, from the author, musicians and neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin who will also feature in the webinar series. The composer Nigel Osborne introduces his X-System, which examines how the brain and body respond to music; Irish accordionist and psychologist Cormac Begley talks about music and mood; and performance poet Michael Pedersen, plus professional players Zoe Martlew and Martin Hurrell reflect on life in lockdown.
Renée Fleming’s ‘Music and the Mind’ webinars take place on Tuesdays at 10 pm UK time, via her Facebook page. Professor Daniel Levitin’s latest publication is ‘Successful Aging: A Neuroscientist Explores the Power and Potential of Our Lives’ (Penguin Random House 2020)
Nigel Osborne’s X-system playlists can be found at www.recoverycollegeonline.co.uk/music-for-wellbeing
Zoë Martlew’s audio diary included extracts from her own recordings and compositions, including her string trio Völuspá and Salat Babilya for solo cello. The recording of birds in a wood close to her home was made by Cato Langnes, Chief Sound Engineer from NOTAM studios in Oslo.
