To JEE

Dear Dr Tramo,

I am contacting you about an event which may interest yourself and your colleagues at the Institute for Music and Brain Science. Please find further details below:

Robert Schumann – The Man, the Mind, the Music
A conference on 2nd and 3rd October 2010 at St. John’s Smith Square
The Musical Brain, now a registered charity, which aims to bring together artists, scientists, teachers, therapists and the public to examine the effects of music and other art forms upon the human mind, brain and body, is presenting this two-day event at one of London’s leading concert venues.

A brochure with conference and concert programme information, incorporating a booking form is attached.

We are pleased to be able to offer a student rate of £50 for the two days or £30 for one day. The full rate, which we have kept as low as we can, is £175 for two days or £90 for one day.

In the 200th anniversary year of his birth, Robert Schumann’s mind and his music will be centre stage. Professor Nigel Osborne will lead a conference team of distinguished neuroscientists, psychiatrists and musicians, BBC Radio 3 presenter Stephen Johnson will speak on Schumann’s life and present studies of his work, and there will be three concerts, programmed by The Musical Brain’s Artistic Director, Ian Ritchie, and given by James Gilchrist tenor, Anna Tilbrook piano, Ian Brown piano, and the Sacconi Quartet.

I hope that you and your colleagues may be interested in joining us for an intriguing weekend of music and the mind. There will be time for discussion and questions from the floor.

A certificate listing the hours of attendance for CPD purposes will be supplied on request.

With best wishes,

Hilary Bartlett
Secretary of the Musical Brain
