Music and Numerology: Is Music a matter of numbers? With Christine Gevert Music is a human pastime around which people design an important part of their emotional lives. Listening to music has historically made people feel free and let us revel in our subjectivity. But music is also mathematics! This talk explores this fascinating apparent contradiction through subjects such as: Pythagoras' discovery of the overtones; the Golden Section in Music illustrated in Bach's, Mozart's and Beethoven's works; Mattheson's interval characteristics; and modern Algorithmic Composition.
A visionary woman and her legacy: Wanda Landowska With Christine Gevert
Wanda Landowska was not only a legendary harpsichordist, but also a woman at the forefront of the cultural and political elite of her times, who dared to follow her own vision. At the beginning of the 20. century she brought the harpsichord back from oblivion by reviving the instrument and its long forgotten repertoire. But she didn't stop there: she related to contemporary musicians such as Poulenc and de Falla, who wrote large scale pieces for “her” instrument. This world wide renowned concert and recording artist, feminist figure and writer relocated to New England after losing everything during World War II. The talk presents her story, her music and her thoughts on music, culture, society and human relationships.
