Einstein’s love of music made him see the world differently. He once said that he often thought in music.
If music inspired Einstein's thinking 100 years ago, how does his scientific legacy continue to inspire musicians and researchers today?
Join Andrew Robinson, Professor Brian Foster and Professor Roger Davies for an evening of conversation and music exploring Einstein's impact and legacy. Throughout the discussions, musicians Zakiya Leeming and Linda Jankowska will share three short miniatures for violin composed for this event and inspired by conversations with our panelists.
Held at Trinity College, Oxford; hosted by the History of Science Museum.
