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.
