This talk draws on her new book "Playing to the Crowd: Musicians, Audiences, and the Intimate Work of Connection", plus nearly a decade of work on the tensions that musicians - and many others - must manage as social media platforms become integral to professional life. 

Samuel Mehr, Research Associate in the Department of Psychology at Harvard University, will give a seminar lecture entitled "A Natural History of Song".
