Concord Conservatory of Music Presents: 'Music and Math' Concert and Speaker Series

Are music and mathematics two sides of the same coin?

Join us for a captivating evening that unlocks the hidden architecture behind some of the world’s most beautiful classical music. This isn’t just a concert; it’s a thrilling journey into the brilliant minds of Johann Sebastian Bach and Béla Bartók—composers who used mathematical patterns, symmetry, and structure to build music of enthralling texture and deep, timeless emotion.

What to Expect:

• The Unveiling: Professor of Mathematics, Gareth Roberts (College of Holy Cross), uses a fun, accessible style and compelling musical examples to show you the ‘blueprint’ these masters followed. Even if you’ve never read a score, you’ll gain a profound new appreciation for the genius of these musical pillars.
• The Live Experience: Witness this architectural brilliance come to life! Hear stunning, live performances of works by Bach, Bartók, and Edison Denisov, presented by world-class artists: saxophonist Philipp Staeudlin, violinist Yonah Zur, and pianist and CCM faculty member Yoko Hagino.

Discover how these two “languages” combine to create works of enduring beauty. This is your chance to hear, see, and understand music in a revolutionary new way.
