Posted

POTSDAM -- A senior student at SUNY Potsdam's Crane School of Music will present her thesis in a special academic forum open to the public at 5 p.m. Thursday, March 3, in Wakefield Recital Hall.

Caitlin MacKenzie Mannion will explore the relationship between music and language in her presentation, entitled "The Human Spirit Speaks Through Song: Exploring the Application of the Theory of Linguistic Relativity to Music."

Music and language are both essential facts of the human experience, and are believed to be present in all known human cultures, past and present. This event is free and the public is invited to attend.
