THE MOZART EFFECT

11/02/23, 17:00

Sound, tone, movement, melody... and the Mozart effect Sound stimuli are all around us and accompany us literally every step of the way. However, are we aware of how it affects us and our psyche? Humanity has been asking this question since time immemorial. Today, from the practice of shamans, healers and conjurers, we have moved into the field of music therapy as a separate discipline, which tries to supplement its long-known treatment methods with a scientific basis and organize them into an effective system.
The label Mozart effect, which we also use in the title of this concert, was created in 1993. Dr. Frances Rauscher published the results of her study in the journal Nature, which proves that the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in children (even the unborn) caused an increase in certain components of intelligence.
In general, playing music – both active and passive – develops cognitive activities, has a positive effect on the psyche, contributes to the treatment of psychosomatic diseases and surprisingly successfully helps suppress epileptic seizures. The effect of music on our mood is probably the most common effect we observe in everyday life.
The Mozart Effect concert is not intended exclusively for expectant parents, but for all lovers of the "most classic" classics.
