Abstract
In her lecture Gfeller will discuss the profound meaning that people find in music, based on the different perspectives she has gained through her professional work and research. "Music is a ubiquitous art form that exists in every known culture," she explained. "Although music is not essential for survival, Americans spend 12 billion dollars annually on sound recordings. We listen to music at home, in our cars, at concerts, in schools, at malls, at sporting events, in religious services, to celebrate key events in our lives and to express our deepest emotions.
