The Universal Language

“Music cleanses the understanding; inspires it, and lifts it into a realm which it would not reach if it were left to itself.”  ~Henry Ward Beecher

In recent years much has been written about the effect of classical music on learning.

Studies of the neurobiology of music have shown that music stimulates specific regions of the brain, specifically those responsible for motor control, timing, and language. Additional benefits include lowered blood pressure, slower heart beat and enhancement to memory. Considering the pleasure of listening to really good music, do we really need any more reasons to indulge out auditory senses?

Delegates to the Cambridge HR Summit will have the benefits of all the biological benefits as well as the sheer enjoyment of listening to a world-renowned choir. At lunch time, the Choral Scholars of Kings College, Cambridge - Collegium Regale will perform for our pleasure (and, of course, to enhance the learning experience.) This is the group which, in 1968 spun off The King’s Singers, so if you’d like to experience something akin to the lunch time treat on September 20^th, have a look at The King’s Singers website – and have your speakers on.

We’ve been a little self-indulgent when planning this conference.  Its great to be able to add the special touches you love when you’re creating something for others. This choir is one of those thrills. Once heard in person, never forgotten.

On a lighter note:

“Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons.  You will find it is to the soul what a water bath is to the body.”  ~Oliver Wendell Holmes
