In Tune With Your Brain: The Power of Music

We are so excited to bring back our biggest event of the year, the In Tune With Your Brain Symposium! The In Tune With Your Brain Symposium is a student-led event in collaboration with the UBC MUSIC Research Cluster that bridges the gaps between musicians, scientists, and the general public to understand the incredible power of music on your brain. This year's theme is "The Power of Music", and we hope to showcase and explore the potential power that music has on healing, connection and inspiration. The conference is FREE for all to attend! Whether you’re a student, researcher, musician, or someone who’s just looking to get inspired — join us on Saturday, October 18th for an incredible day of conversation and connection.

We have an amazing line up of speakers this year, featuring topics focusing on how we listen to music and how that changes with age, to how musical rhythm enhances our social coordination and cohesion, to the influence of music on wellness. Featuring performances from UBC A Capella's "The Unaccompanied Minors", and the band "Brown Sugar" from the UBC Music Initiative, this symposium will provide an atmosphere of learning alongside musical energy. We look forward to sharing the power of music with people within and beyond the UBC and Vancouver community, and we cannot wait to see you there!

Additionally, a big thank you to our sponsors for making this event possible: UBC MUSIC Research Cluster, UBC Faculty of Medicine, Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health, UBC Faculty of Science and Long & McQuade.

Please come early to check in! Check-in will open up at 9:30AM.
