Lecture with Dr Olive Sacks - Brisbane Festival

This event has BOOKED OUT.

Brisbane Festival 2008 invites you to our evening with Dr Oliver Sacks, one of the world’s most provocative thinkers and author of best selling books The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Awakenings and An Anthropologist on Mars.

Join Dr Oliver Sacks as he discusses the relationship between music, healing and the brain. He will provide an excellent platform for illustrating the connection between science and the arts as he so brilliantly outlined in his most recent book Musicophilia, which examines the power of music through the individual experiences of patients, musicians, and society.

Do not miss this opportunity to spend a stimulating evening with the mastermind that is Dr Oliver Sacks.

“the poet laureate of medicine…”
New York Times, 1990

"Sacks is adept at turning neurological narratives into humanly affecting stories, by showing how precariously our worlds are poised on a little biochemistry."
Anthony Gottlieb, The New York Times Book Review

"Dr. Sacks writes not just as a doctor and a scientist but also as a humanist with a philosophical and literary bent. . . [Musicophilia] not only contributes to our understanding of the elusive magic of music but also illuminates the strange workings, and misfirings, of the human mind."
Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
