Following national guidelines to minimize gathering crowds of people, this event has been canceled. The Charleston Library Society hopes to have Nolan Gasser back to speak on his book, Why You Like It, later this year.

Please contact the front desk at 843-953-6326 for refund processes.

Dr. Nolan Gasser, pianist and the architect of Pandora Radio’s Music Genome Project, will speak about Why You Like It: The Science and Culture of Musical Taste. He will share an engaging exploration of individual musical taste: where it comes from, what defines it, what it says about you, and how it can make your life richer. With humor and live piano interludes, Gasser will deliver a program as provocative as it is entertaining. You’ll never listen to music the same way again!
