Music alumna Dr Emily MacGregor will be in conversation with Professor Laura Tunbridge about her new book While the Music Lasts: a Memoir of Music, Grief, and Joy. A musicologist, broadcaster, and writer, as well as the new classical music editor at Faber, she'll be talking about how our relationships with music are in flux throughout our lives, and a career path that's led her from a music degree to communicating about classical music to wide audiences.

Phantom Melodies and Tangerine Trees: A voyage through the psychedelic musical experience
Using musical illusions, perceptual experiments and examples from The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Tchaikovsky, Steve Reich and beyond, Prof. Milton Mermikides explores how music can evoke altered perceptions of time and self, the blending of senses and moments of transcendence, and why music relies on the very same perceptual mechanisms for its extraordinary power.
