Little Curiosities:

Art Works by erinO

erinO, whose work has been shown all over the county, is a young and emerging Bay Area artist, currently living in Sebastopol. While erin considers herself an “artist since birth,” she studied formally at Sonoma State University in the department of Fine Arts. She received her degree in photography, followed by multiple photography-based jobs and internships. She returned to her roots and began producing mixed-media paintings shortly after graduation. Her current works are direct reflections of her sense of being. Her paintings and drawings give quiet insight into the mind of a melancholy young woman as she moves warily into adulthood. They cry out with both longing and disinterest. Erin says her works are “head-on confrontations of childhood romances with the unwavering realities of adulthood.”

The Sonoma County Bach Society presents

MUSIC, MEMORIES, & The BRAIN

Presented by Dr. Petr Janata

We all know the feeling: a familiar song comes on the radio and suddenly vivid memories come flooding back—to a high-school dance or childhood friends—a mental movie begins playing in our mind. What is it about music that can trigger such powerful memories? Dr. Petr Janata, Associate Professor of Psychology at UC Davis's Center for Mind and Brain, thinks he may now have the answer. By conducting a study mapping the brain activity of a group of students while they listened to familiar music, Dr. Janata found that the region of the brain where memories of our past are supported also serves as a hub that links music, memories and emotion.

Join us for this intriguing look inside Dr. Janata's discovery, and learn how music can evoke powerful memories of a person or place in your mind's eye.

Friday, February 19, 8:00 p.m.

Tickets $20
