The Music of Proof (4 Oct 17)

Wednesday 4 October 2017, 7.30pm

Emily Howard and Marcus du Sautoy with performances by RNCM Musicians

PRiSM Launch Event

In association with Manchester Science Festival and Oxford e-Research Centre

RNCM Concert Hall, RNCM

Is there maths hidden inside music? Is there music hidden in maths? This October, PRiSM, based at the RNCM, is exploring the eternal connection and differences between the art of music and the science of maths. Listen to a new collection of miniatures for string quartet: five short movements each associated with a different mathematical idea. Play with a new app that will be launched during the evening inviting the audience to match the maths in musical fragments. Join composer Emily Howard and mathematician Marcus du Sautoy in a discussion about how maths and music are intertwined.
