Program [4] and Abstracts [5] of Math and Music Event

Music and mathematics are both fueled by creativity and founded on hierarchical structures. In this lecture recital, we will illustrate how simple ideas in algebra and geometry can be used to describe musical rhythms. A rich source of cyclical rhythms are provided by traditional dances and we will exhibit some of these in new musical compositions. Before the live music, there will be a general audience 15 minute math talk. This event assumes no previous musical nor mathematical knowledge and is suitable for all levels. Participation is free of charge.
