The Universal Language of Music

Hosted by the Sarasota Opera Guild, the event will feature a presentation by Dr. Craig Wright, Professor and Chairman Emeritus of the Yale Music Department.
The topic will be: "Listening to Music - Why we like what we like." A discussion of why we respond emotionally to different types of music in certain ways with emphasis on classical compositions and arias.
The lecture will be flanked by an international buffet dinner including paired wines with a menu specially curated by noted food author May Bsisu and Rosanne Martorella.
Globally acclaimed artist Dr. Susie Sharpe will exhibit a collection of her music-themed paintings.
The event will support the programs of the Sarasota Opera.
