It's Good for Your Brain

We've all done it - heard the first few notes of a song and said to ourselves, "I know that song..."
According to this NY Times article, some interesting research has been done as to how our brains do that.


The CAC has two concerts coming up where you'll have the opportunity to listen to some music and feed your brain!





On Friday, January 12, the Miró String Quartet will be performing at 7pm. The Miró Quartet is captivating audiences around the world, dazzling listeners with its youthful intensity and mature interpretations.

Miró will also be leading the annual Marty Lundgren Masterclass. Area string students will have the opportunity to learn from the artists of Miró. Miró will present an abbreviated program and then give the students a chance to perform and receive feedback from the artists.


Prior to Friday night's performance, concert guests will have the opportunity to meet the artists during UpClose, a question and answer session, at 6:15pm. There will also be a reception in Wendland hall with refreshments, beginning at 6pm. Music will also be provided by the Lamar Middle School Orchestra and art students at Kennedy-Powell Elementary will exhibit art projects.






Then, on Saturday, January 20 at 7pm, The CAC Performing Arts Season presents Night and Day: The Best of Cole Porter.

Soprano Nancy Fox, Baritone William Thorpe and Pianist William Merrill have worked together for nearly fifteen years. Cole Porter's family led the standing ovation at their performance for the Cole Porter Centennial in conjunction with the U.S. Post Office release of the Cole Porter first-class postage stamp. Their considerable experience performing both classical and popular styles makes them ideal interpreters of the music of Cole Porter.



Tickets are available online or at the CAC Box Office. Call 254-773-9926 for more information.
