Why Music? The Key to Memory

Explore how tunes lodge themselves into our brains at ‘Why Music? The Key to Memory’ – a weekend of live broadcasts, concerts and events from BBC Radio 3 and the Wellcome Collection. Musicians, scientists and experts will all be exploring our ability to remember music and how it keeps us in the moment through discussions and live performances. Find out why we're so nostalgic about music from our youth in Dr Catherine Loveday's talk about ‘reminiscence bump’ and a six-hour ‘slow radio’ night sequence will use music to bind together the voices of people living with dementia. All tickets are free and available here.
