Duality: Listen to light
This performance runs from 19.30 – 21:30.
There will be drop-in activities in the foyer from 18:30.
This event is being run by the University of Southampton PERu team.
Duality weaves together music and physics to explore the quantum nature of light.
Orchestral music from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries follows the story of our evolving scientific understanding of light: from electromagnetic waves to photons, from the mind-bending idea of wave-particle duality to quantum states of light in new technologies. This innovative sound experiments combines science and music.
Join Elinor Twyeffort from the School of Physics and Astronomy (University of Southampton), conductor John Traill, clarinet soloist Alison Hughes, and the City of Southampton Orchestra on a musical journey through the physics of light.
Alongside the performance, interactive demonstrations in the foyer will explore light, photonics, and quantum technologies.
This event will be delivered by the University of Southampton in partnership with the School of Physics and Astronomy, CORNERSTONE C-PiC, Light Up Trails, and Turner Sims.
