Equations are beautiful – works of art in their own right. That’s according to violinist and world leading mathematician Professor Yang Hui He, who says we should marvel at mathematical equations just as we do great music or paintings.

In this unique interdisciplinary performance, Professor He is joined by internationally acclaimed UK saxophonist Jonathan Radford and the talented musicians of the AYO Momentum Ensemble  as he guides audiences through a vibrant exploration of how mathematical ideas can inform musical creation.

While the relationship between maths and music is commonly accepted, Professor He is urging us to delve deeper and explore how the study of geometric theories can help us appreciate the aesthetic beauty of music – and pure maths – at the same time.

As composer Igor Stravinsky once remarked, “the musician should find in mathematics a study as useful as the learning of another language is to a poet.” For him, mathematics flowed just beneath the surface of great music.
