  On Saturday, October 24, 2024 pianist Luke Welch will collaborate with the Toronto Chamber Choir for an evening of enjoyable performances.  This multimedia presentation investigates the mysterious ways in which music is processed and stored by the human brain. Interspersed with gorgeous music by the likes of Lasso, Allegri, Purcell, and Mozart, we’ll recount tales such as the legend of Wolfgang Mozart’s visit to the Sistine chapel, questionable neurological theories such as the “Mozart effect,” the mind-boggling memory of American slave piano sensation Blind Tom Wiggins, and heart-warming tales of Alzheimer's patients who remember music when they can remember almost nothing else.

  Sharang Sharma, guest conductor
  Lucas Harris, narrator
  Luke Welch, piano
