Join two musicians on a shared journey: guitarist, Peppino D’Agostino, who was shaped by a lifelong career in music; and psychologist, Dr. Barb Minton, UUCB Member, returning to music after many years away. Together, Barb and Peppino will take us through an experience to show how music reaches beyond words…that music speaks directly to our inner world and shapes the way we experience meaning. And yes, the music will be live!
Peppino will play guitar as he and Barb blend their live performance with reflection. They will help us to understand how the brain responds to music and moments of transcendence, including glimpses of brain activity that reveal what’s happening beneath the surface.
As a group, we’ll also venture into ideas from physics and contemporary theories of consciousness, opening questions about the relationship between mind, sound, and the fabric of reality. And at the heart of it all: what unfolds in the space between two musicians when they truly listen and play together?
Throughout the experience, music will be woven in and out of the conversation. Barb and Peppino will invite us —not require us—to reflect on our own inner responses: How does music move within each of us? What does it open, reveal, or transform?
This is not just a talk, but an invitation to listen more deeply—to sound, to silence, and to ourselves.
