Music has the power to move us emotionally, but emerging research reveals its remarkable potential to shape our brains, improve health, and promote healing. Join world-renowned soprano Renée Fleming for a Johns Hopkins Center for Innovative Medicine seminar exploring the intersection of music, neuroscience, and medicine, drawing on insights from her book Music and Mind: Harnessing the Arts for Health and Wellness.
Renée Fleming is internationally celebrated for her vocal and dramatic artistry, as well as her dedicated advocacy for the powerful impacts of the creative arts in health. Honored with five GRAMMY® awards and the US National Medal of Arts, she has sung not only in the world’s leading opera houses and concert halls, but also for momentous occasions from the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony to the Super Bowl.
Renée’s anthology Music and Mind: Harnessing the Arts for Health and Wellness was published in 2024. She created a live program called Music and Mind, which she has presented in more than 70 cities around the world. She is now an advisor for major initiatives in this field, including the NeuroArts Blueprint at Johns Hopkins University. In 2024 she launched the Renée Fleming NeuroArts Investigator Awards, funding interdisciplinary research projects by early career scientists in collaboration with creative artists.
Her other honors include the Fulbright Lifetime Achievement Medal, Germany’s Cross of the Order of Merit, France’s Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur, and honorary doctorates from 10 major universities.
