Bruno Schrecker, Kate Barrows

Bruno Schrecker will talk with Kate Barrows about the ways in which music completes the circle of life and is central to our emotional beings, giving access to the deepest levels of feeling. Music can transport us to profound depths of joy and sorrow, whilst other times brightening our lives with humour and mischief. The power of music is different from that of other arts - how is this so? What does it do?

Bruno Schrecker was born in Frankfurt in 1928 and moved to England in 1938. His rich musical experience includes playing for 20 years with the acclaimed Allegri String Quartet and working with Benjamin Britten on his first and second string quartets.

Kate Barrows is a Training Psychoanalyst with the Institute of Psychoanalysis and a Child Psychotherapist. Among other clinical and literary papers she has written about music and psychoanalysis in a paper on 'The Turn of the Screw'.
