What happens in the brain when music moves us? Why do melodies stay with us for a lifetime? And can music influence our brain health?
»Notes & Neurons – Music for Brain Health« combines music, neuroscience, and cutting-edge medical technology into a unique live experience as part of Science Year 2026.
The concert series will tour renowned concert halls throughout Germany, bringing international artists, leading scientists, and innovative research to the stage. The opening concert at the Cologne Philharmonic Hall will bring together Cologne’s musical traditions, choral and orchestral music, and the latest findings in brain research.
The lineup includes Bläck Fööss, members of the Gürzenich-Orchestra Cologne, the choir and project orchestra of the University Hospital Bonn, and—live on stage—the world’s first portable MRI system.
