In this recorded talk, Marna Seltzer, Director of Princeton University Concerts, makes a case for attending live concerts and helps explain why we gather.

Artistic appreciation and aesthetic engagement is a basic human characteristic we all share regardless of our age or background and makes us feel like we belong.
