Keynote Address: Music and Mind
Renée Fleming  |  Keynote Speaker
1:30pm - 2:30pm  |  Ecolab Theatre
Famed opera star Renée Fleming is a leading advocate for the study of the powerful connections between the arts and health. Editor of the 2024 anthology Music and Mind: Harnessing the Arts for Health and Wellness (Viking Penguin Random House), Fleming developed her Music and Mind presentation to engage the public and scientific professionals in interactive conversations that explore the impact of music and the arts on health and the brain.

American composer and educator Daniel M. Brewbaker (1951-2017) was one of the most esteemed artists of his generation. His first composition, Psalm 39, premiered in 1970 at the University of Illinois, beginning a body of work that grew to nearly 60 compositions, establishing his place among preeminent contemporary American composers. His music reflected his deeply spiritual and somewhat mystical nature, communicated to the listener with powerful effect.
