A very interesting event that I
attended last Saturday.
Christopher Taylor in
Conversation with Bob Osserman
MSRI invites you to attend a free
public event at
2:00 PM
on
Saturday, November
5, 2005, which presents
acclaimed pianist Christopher Taylor and mathematician Bob Osserman in a
discussion that explores how harmoniously music and math inter-relate to each
other. Taylor, who majored in mathematics, graduated summa cum laude from
Harvard University in 1992. The following year he entered the Van Cliburn
International Piano Competition and became the first American to receive a medal
since 1981. He has gone on to become a leading representative of 20th century
piano music.
The conversation, at various
points, will highlight the theme by demonstrations played on the piano. This
free special event will take place in Morrison Hall's Room 125 at the
University
of
California
at
Berkeley.
This event -- the First in a Series on Music & Mathematics -- is co-sponsored by
the Archimedes Society of MSRI, CalPerformances and the UC Berkeley Music
Department. The program will run from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM
