In this YouTube video Nuvi Mehta, the San Diego Symphony Special Project Director, reveals how music has a unique power to bypass the conscious mind and touch us directly within the subconscious. Accompanied by the guitar work of Pepe Romero, we’re drawn in as Nuvi talks about the power of music to help us feel, using fun and engaging examples to help us understand just how powerful music can be. He boldly proclaims that the lack of music limits our empathy, our connection, and our ability to perceive. “We marginalize the arts which teach us to see in society at our peril.”
