How does music affect health and wellbeing? Can it be used to help people suffering from stress or those with particular conditions or disorders? Aaron Williamon, Daisy Fancourt and Katey Warran are from the Centre for Performance Science, a partnership between Imperial and the Royal College of Music, and they have been investigating the effects of making music on mental and physical health. Join them at Imperial Festival for an interactive singing session with the Sing with Us choir, a distinctive initiative run by Tenovus Cancer Care exploring whether singing affects mental health, wellbeing, quality of life and social support for people affected by cancer.
