When you think of health care, you probably think of doctors, hospitals and shots. But music has also been used through the ages to promote health and healing.
Music therapists play an increasingly important role in helping people recover from illness and injury.
On Tuesday, the University of Minnesota–Rochester hosts a lecture and discussion, "The Powerful Healing of Music." Part of the UMR Connects series, it starts at 7 p.m. in Room 417 in University Square, 111 S. Broadway. Free admission.
