Transcending racial, cultural, and ideological boundaries, music is a universal language that brings together human beings from all different origins, backgrounds, and ethnicities. Used in many cultures and traditions as a vehicle for inner reflection and contemplation, music invigorates the spirit and strengthens higher love. In addition, in recent years musicologists have explored numerous therapeutic and psychological benefits of music. The goal of this symposium is to create an open forum for understanding music as a vehicle to explore commonalities amongst cultures and to evaluate the therapeutic impact of music in modern time.
