Whether it’s neuroscience or physics, science offers musical inspiration and even provocative compositional concepts that have been the focus of many of his recent works. From Music of Memory, recently premiered at the Brain and Creativity Institute in LA, or Einstein’s Light, a new film with his score recorded by Joshua Bell, science and scientists fire up his musical imagination. Bruce Adolphe, resident composer at the Brain and Creativity Institute in LA and Lecturer at The Chamber Music Society at Lincoln Center in New York, will explore the details of how this works. Samples of his works, performance from the piano, improvisational games and his highly entertaining Piano Puzzlers are all part of this engaging event. Join us for this intimate opportunity to learn more about music in general, ask those questions you’ve always wanted to have answered and meet this remarkable internationally known composer.
