SUMMARY:Friends Program: Dr. Susan Rogers - Individuality and the Music-Listening Brain
DESCRIPTION:Friends Program: Dr. Susan Rogers – “Individuality and the Music-Listening Brain”\nDr. Susan Rogers\, a behavioral neuroscientist and a former record producer and engineer known for her work with Prince\, will speak September 21 at the Needham library about the uniqueness of every music lover’s listening. She will describe the “listener profile\,” a constellation of mental sweet spots where music delivers the optimal award for each listener. \nDr. Rogers teaches for Berklee College of Music Online and is the author of This Is What It Sounds Like: What the Music You Love Says About You\, published by W. W. Norton & Company in 2021. She holds a doctorate in psychology from McGill University\, where she studied music cognition and psychoacoustics. Her research focuses on auditory memory\, the perception of musical signals\, and the influence of musical training on auditory development. \nFor two decades prior to her science career\, Rogers was one of the world’s few women known for her work as a record producer\, engineer\, mixer\, and audio electronics technician. Career highlights include years (1983–1988) as staff engineer for recording artist Prince. \nThis Program is sponsored by the Friends of the Needham Public Library. Registration is required\, as we have a current capacity limit of 108.

SUMMARY:Needham History Center Rum Tasting Event
DESCRIPTION:Explore the Great Terroirs of Rum! \nwith Rich Fiorillo of Planteray Rum Distillers\npresenter by Bin Ends Wine in Needham \nNovember 5th at 7 pm\,\nat the Needham History Center \nJoin us on November 5th as Rich Fiorello\, New England Regional Manager for Planteray Rum along with John Hafferty\, proprietor of Bin Ends Wine entertain us with a tasting seminar touching upon the history\, production\, styles\, and cocktail craft of rum. \nPlanteray Rum crafts a full range of rums from across the great terroirs of rum around the world. With authentic expressions from the Caribbean – where rum was first crafted in Barbados in 1651 – to the Indian and Pacific oceans\, each rum embodies the character and identity of its land of origin. \nRum is a truly fascinating spirit as it expresses the deep sense of terroir/place of origin\, rooted in nature and culture and methods established over the course of centuries. Each country\, each island has its own distinctive characteristics and Planteray has made its mission to celebrate that diversity of style. This is a tasting event that you will surely want to experience for yourself!! \nTickets are $25 – Available HERE
