Music meets Science in Realfagbygget

Music meets Science in Realfagbygget

Join us for a stimulating event in collaboration with Bergen Philharmonic, where conductor Andrew Litton and dean Dag Rune Olsen will discuss parallels and connections between science and music, featuring some musical contributions by musicians of the Bergen Philharmonic.

What do science and music have in common? Can music and its beauty be expressed by means of mathematics or physics? How do we define our pursuits of understanding and interpretation? What is universal to our approaches?

The faculty offers free traditional Norwegian risengrynsgrøt (porridge) and some soft drinks for students and other participants afterwards, with the possibility for further discussion with attending musicians and other members from the Bergen Philharmonic.

The arrangement is in Realfagbygget (1.st floor) and starts at 15.00 on Tuesday 29th of January. Grøt is served approximately at 16.00. For more information: http://www.uib.no/matnat/arrangement/2013/01/music-meets-science-in-realfagbygget
