SCIENCE AND SOUNDS - Where Music Meets Medicine

The content on this page was translated automatically.

The second festival congress "Science & Sounds - where Music meets Medicine" will focus on the topic of "Pain": different facets of pain, its development and therapeutic approaches using music, sound and rhythm for the treatment of pain. On the first day, renowned (inter)national speakers from the fields of medicine and music therapy will present and discuss this topic in a specialist symposium. The second day is aimed at the interested public and will be thematically opened with insights into the transdisciplinary research activities of the still young ligeti center and the Center for Music Medicine and Music Therapy at the UKE. We are looking forward to two highly interesting days with an exciting exchange of expertise and new insights! For the evening program you can expect a piano recital in cooperation with Steinway&Sons and other surprises. You can look forward to hearing from two musicians who both overcame their life-threatening illnesses with the help of music.
