Cologne (Germany). July 6, 2026. Featuring the Gürzenich Orchestra Cologne and iconic band Bläck Fööss, the concert series “Notes and Neurons: Music for Brain Health” kicks off on July 10 at the Cologne Philharmonie. After its premiere, it will be touring four additional cities across Germany through December. These popular science events blend pop music, classical music, and soundtracks with insights into current brain research - including interactive experiments with the audience. At the heart of these events is the question of how music affects the human brain and supports cognitive fitness. The concert series is a joint initiative by DZNE and other research institutions marking the German Science Year 2026: Medicine of the Future.
