Music is more than just entertainment. Science tells us that music carries great benefits for health, for complex problem solving, for imagination, for bringing people together, peace building, and transcultural communication. How do we harness music’s power for social change?

UCI’s new Alec Glasser Center for the Power of Music and Social Change is committed to answering that question. We invite you to join leaders, faculty, students, researchers, activists and artists in exploring how the vast power of music can be used as an effective tool of transformation.
