Festival Finale & Reception | JazzPlasticity with Helen Sung
6:00 PM | The Dimenna Center Cary Hall

JazzPlasticity, a program inspired by the wonders of the brain and Sung’s time as the Jazz Artist-in-Residence at the Columbia University’s Zuckerman Institute.

At intermission, Sung will be joined by Dr. Sarah M. N. Woolley, Professor of Psychology and Principal Investigator at the Zuckerman Institute, will share her research on how songbirds can help decode the ways our brain interprets sound. Listen as the two discuss jazz music inspired "by the birds" and how Dr. Woolley's work impacted Sung’s writing of JazzPlasticity.
