• Listening to music – various audiences in our future societiesEva Bojner Horwitz and David Thyrén, Royal College of Music in StockholmThat music listening can have strong emotional effects is widely accepted, and it is also known that the effects depend on several individual and environmental factors. There are different elements of the musical experience that influence the emotional response of the listener, of which we will try to focus on four that have been explored in the literature and which relate to a newly published study. The social changes in our societies will affect our audiences and education. Therefore new musical arenas need to be developed  and more included through the whole lifespan.
