Project LENS is a Boston-based performance collaborative that seeks to reveal connections between music and other topics. The group’s diverse studies and passion for classical music have inspired them to start a conversation about the way music relates to topics as eclectic as evolution, law, and birdsong. For this event, Project LENS will join HGSE professor Gigi Luk to explore how the cognitive effects of bilingualism might relate to the benefits of learning music “as another language,” studying multiple instruments, or developing multiple musical styles.

Presented in collaboration with the [Cambridge Science Festival](https://www.cambridgesciencefestival.org/).

The Fitzgerald Theatre at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School was originally designed in 1979 by Argentinean architect Eduardo Fernando Catalano. In this recently renovated venue, every seat has an unobstructed view of the stage.
