Join us for a discussion of “Uncommon Measure: A Journey Through Music, Performance, and the Science of Time” by Natalie Hodges as part of the Big Library Read, the world’s largest digital book club. From May 15-29, library card holders can enjoy “Uncommon Measure: A Journey Through Music, Performance, and the Science of Time” by Natalie Hodges as an ebook and/or audiobook for free through the Libby app. During this two-week program, readers around the globe can access the title without waitlists or holds and join the conversation in-person or via Zoom at this hybrid event.

“Uncommon Measure” explores the intricate relationship between time, consciousness, and music through the lens of a young Korean American violinist. After performance anxiety derails her dream of becoming a concert soloist, Hodges embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Blending personal narrative with illuminating research in neuroscience and quantum physics, she reflects on family, prejudice, and the search for meaning. Through this genre-defying memoir, Hodges reimagines a life once defined by classical music, now moving toward the freedom of improvisation.
