Friday November 14, the Columbia arm of the Brown Institute held the first of its concerts mingling data, code, journalism and music. The series is curated by Charlotte Mundy, a soprano and new music advocate, who has been praised as “mesmerizing” and “preternaturally focused” by the New York Times. This first concert explored the ties between mathematics and music, featuring works by Iannis Xenakis, Georg Friedrich Haas, Oscar Bianchi and Christopher Burns. We were delighted to host violinist Miranda Cuckson and cellist Paul Dwyer. About 60 people filled the space, which, if we do say so ourselves, felt very much like an actual music venue. The next concert will be held in January and is more about computer music, live coding and transforming data into sound. Enjoy!
