Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival
BAM!! Insights on the Brain & Music
For our 2025 season, we’re thrilled to present a new Monday Noon series called BAM!! Insights on the Brain & Music, a set of three presentations by leading neuroscientists who are actively engaged in researching the impact of music on the human brain.
In a statement about his motivation for creating and curating this new series, Festival Artistic Director Marc Neikrug said:
“I’m a firm believer that music communicates to us on a biological level and that the cutting-edge scientific research being done by these brilliant speakers will lead to a more thorough understanding of the immense power exerted by these beautifully organized sounds on our very being. I encourage everyone to attend these presentations to cultivate a better understanding of the cognitive and health benefits that music provides in addition to, or perhaps exactly because of, the pleasures.”
Each BAM!! presentation is held over the course of one hour at St. Francis Auditorium in the New Mexico Museum of Art.
