Music & Spiritual Realities Workshop
In St Andrews from 19–21 June 2023, we held a workshop with scholars from different fields – including theology, musicology, psychology, and other empirical sciences – who addressed our core question: How would you, with your own area of expertise, your own research experience, and your own research methodologies, address or seek to demonstrate the commonly-perceived connection between music and spiritual realities?
