18:00 FROM THE TOP with America's finest young musicians; recorded March 2025 -   Music is powerful stuff. It can transform a mood in an instant and can help us connect deeply with the world around us. But how exactly does music accomplish all of this? To answer this question, we've partnered with the Brain and Creativity Institute at the University of Southern California to explore the science of music. We’ll meet five remarkable teenagers from across the country who are gifted in both music and neuroscience. Over the last six months, they've been working with researchers at USC to investigate how music affects the brain. And of course, we’ll hear some thought-provoking and awe-inspiring performances along the way!
