18:00 FROM THE TOP with America's finest young musicians; recorded March 2025
Why is music so powerful to human experience? We’ve partnered with the Brain and Creativity Institute at the University of Southern California to explore music’s connection to wellness, memory, critical thinking, and much more! Along with performing, the six young musicians we meet today have spent a week learning from Dr. Assal Habibi and her team of neuroscientists. We have been taking part in a brain scan project that will aid in potentially life-changing treatments, and if that weren’t enough, we’ve also gathered 100 young musicians for a youth symposium, all about music and neuroscience. It’s been an impactful collaboration, and we’ve all gained a better understanding of how music affects cognitive development and the important role it can play in the prevention and treatment of memory loss and brain disease. Join us for this fascinating episode!

This special program looks at the anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe through the lens of classical music, which was a significant and sometimes surprising part of life during the war years and after. The war and its aftermath inspired composers to reflect feelings and events of the time. This special shares music that honors the sacrifices of WW II as well as celebrating victory and the spirit of that era.
