Evolution, Music and the Brain
Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Enjoying a concert from the comfort of your seat is perfectly normal -- but your brain has other things in mind. Today, the neuroscientist Daniel Levitin explains why it’s only natural to dance when you hear music. Plus, on the eve of Soundcheck’s own special from Berlin, chanteuse Ute Lemper kicks off Carnegie Hall’s Berlin in Lights festival. She joins us for a preview. And later: a look at Plastic People of the Universe, the Czech rock band whose music is at the heart of a new Broadway play.
