When music and science collide at National Concert Hall

THE relationship between music and science is the theme of an upcoming children’s workshop at the National Concert Hall in Dublin.

When music and science collide at National Concert Hall

‘Music and Science’ is a collaboration between the concert hall and Trinity College Dublin. Through various hands-on, observational experiments, the organisers will demonstrate the relationship between sound, science and mathematics.

“We wanted to explore the intersections between music and other disciplines; whether that be other art forms, or, as in this case, science,” says Nigel Flegg, head of education, community and outreach at the National Concert Hall. “With that in mind, I went to the Science Gallery and, through them, I got in touch with Shane Bergin, a lecturer in physics at Trinity College Dublin. It was fairly obvious, straight away, that there was a good bit of meat, in terms of putting a workshop together for children to explain the synergies between physics and music.
