What can music 'move' in a hospital setting? This intriguing question is at the heart of this book. The research project Meaningful Music in Healthcare at the Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen explored the possibilities of bringing professional musicians and their music into a hospital setting with severely ill and vulnerable people. The journey of the musicians, patients and nursing staff that followed proved both worthwhile and exciting to explore.
