CBC Radio host Matthew Parsons spoke with the UBC Faculty of Medicine’s Dr. Roger Wong Sunday, Nov. 24 in an interview focusing on Dr. Wong’s upcoming role in Sounds and Science.
In a talk dedicated to composer Johann Strauss, Dr. Wong will speak on how music enables healthy aging, as one of the presenters featured in the Nov. 30 collaboration between UBC and members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
Millions have enjoyed Strauss’s contributions to waltz music, and those who combine music with movement can derive the same benefits, according to Dr. Wong. “Music enables us to combine mental precision with physical activity,” he said.
