Renée Fleming’s groundbreaking initiative explores how the arts, medicine, and neuroscience connect, highlighting the creative arts’ role in health, emotional well-being, and medical care. In this conversational program, Fleming is joined by UNC neuroscientists and members of the medical community for a dynamic discussion bridging artistic insight with cutting-edge research.
“Cutting-edge advances in health technology are revealing the powerful ways music and other arts can be leveraged in treatments for stroke, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, pain, and a wide range of medical challenges. There are also amazing benefits for childhood development and lifelong mental and emotional health. I am certain that each of us will at some point benefit from these discoveries.”
