Sint Caecilia Music Society Fall Concert “Frames of Mind”

The Sint Caecilia Music Society Takes You on a Journey Through the Brain

What happens in your head when you listen to music or make music yourself? During the fall concert of the Sint Caecilia Music Association on November 28, the focus will be on the unique relationship between music and the brain.

The brass band will take the audience on a journey into the world of music and neuropsychology. Neuropsychologist and former member of Sint Caecilia, Lotte Kuiper, will speak between musical pieces about the influence of music on emotions, stress, development, and the connections between people. The program will also address familiar questions: Why does a musician get nervous before a solo? Why does a passage go well at home but suddenly not during a concert? And what makes the bond within an orchestra so strong? The stories will be interspersed with music that ties in with the theme.

The collaboration with Lotte is especially meaningful for Sint Caecilia. She used to play the French horn in the association’s training orchestra and, during her studies in neuropsychology, focused on the influence of music on people. In this way, she combines her professional knowledge with her personal connection to the association.

It promises to be an inspiring afternoon or evening filled with music, surprising insights, and delightful discoveries—a concert that stimulates not only the ears but also the mind.

The fall concert will take place at Onze Lieve Vrouw ter Eem, Daam Fockemalaan 22 in Amersfoort. There will be two performances: a matinee at 4:30 p.m. and an evening concert at 8:00 p.m. The concert lasts approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes and has no intermission.
