• Cornell College Music Monday: Amara Piano Quartet

  <p dir="ltr">The<a href="https://rilearts.com/ensembles/amara-piano-quartet/">&nbsp;Amara Piano Quartet</a> is the successor to the Ames Piano Quartet, whose distinguished performing history spanned the last thirty-six years. Upon the retirement of two of its original members in 2012, the Quartet was renamed “Amara,” a name connoting mythic paradise in Abyssinian.</p><p dir="ltr">The Amara Quartet performs the masterpieces from the standard repertoire as well as new music (the group’s new recording of the two Faure Piano Quartets is scheduled for release in August 2018.) It also continues to research unjustly neglected piano quartets from the past. Like its predecessor the Ames Piano Quartet, the Amara performs little-known gems such as the Suk Piano Quartet, the Frank Bridge Phantasy, the Herbert Howells Piano Quartet, and similar. The Amara Piano Quartet is managed by Joanne Rile Artists Management, of Philadelphia.</p>

• Thursday Forum - The Golden Age of Neuroscience: Understanding Addiction, Stress, and Brain Disorders

  <p>Researchers have learned more about the brain in the last decade than in centuries of study, ushering in a golden age of neuroscience. &nbsp;Yet, a better understanding of the brain is still desperately needed in order to develop effective treatments for neurological disorders, one of the greatest threats to public health. &nbsp;How do we go about understanding the nervous system—the most complex organ system in the human body—and a range of neural processes like addiction, stress, and brain disorders? &nbsp;This forum, led by faculty from Coe’s biology and psychology departments, will provide an introduction to neuroscience and exciting developments in this dynamic field. &nbsp;Following week one’s introduction to the field and its history, week two’s session led by Professor of Psychology Michael Baker will explore addiction and the psychological and neurobiological mechanisms that play a role in the compulsive behaviors associated with it. &nbsp;In the third session, Associate Professor of Biology David Lo will explain the biological process of stress, the myriad ways stress impacts our health, and techniques for managing stress. &nbsp;The final session, led by Associate Professor of Biology Paul Storer, will explain the mechanisms that lead to brain disorders like Alzheimer’s disease and Multiple Sclerosis and explore the modern treatments that may ameliorate such brain disorders.</p> 2019-10-01 11:30:00 -0500
