Why does music make our spines tingle and manipulate our minds? This Autumn 鲍鱼tv Radio 3 teams up with Wellcome Collection to explore this question in a three-day series of events, Why Music?

As part of Why Music? and with the help of the 鲍鱼tv Concert Orchestra and conductor Michael Seal, 鲍鱼tv Radio 3 presenter Sarah Walker and Professor of the Public Understanding of Philosophy at the University of Sheffield and regular 鲍鱼tv Radio 4 contributor Angie Hobbs will seek, through music, to express what makes us human.

The concert鈥檚 20th and 21st century repertoire conveys wide-ranging themes, from the nostalgia imbued by Frank Bridge鈥檚 evocations of the pre-First World War halcyon days through the politics associated with Jonathan Dove鈥檚 A Portrait of Aung San Suu Kyi, to the basic life-giving elements represented in the works by Judith Weir and Peter Maxwell Davies.

Admission is on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that as not everyone who asks for tickets uses them, to make sure we have a full house we send out more tickets than there are places. We do our best to get the numbers right, but unfortunately we occasionally have to disappoint people so please arrive early.
