The Sound of Science To celebrate British Science Week 2022 music promoters Jazz North East are proud to present ‘The Sound of Science’.

   (Press release)

With additional support from Newcastle University’s Faculty of Science and Gosforth Civic Theatre, audiences are welcomed to experience a series of concerts and discussions drawing connections between science and music.  Programmed events will specifically explore the interplay of chemistry, physics, ecology and biology, and the ways in which these disciplines have been employed by, and communicated through, composers and musicians. We will hear from 28 musicians, artists and scientists across the four day event. “From climate change to vaccines, the importance of science to the way we live has never been clearer. Its relationship to music however is rarely explored and it is for that reason we have assembled those working in and between these two seemingly disparate fields. Our events shine a spotlight on the role of science within music composition and improvisation, with a view to inspiring audiences new to one or both subjects. Presented and discussed through music making practice, this project aims to increase understanding of science and its social implications, and build audience confidence in discussing these issues. Inviting all ages and every level of expertise, the festival will spark new ideas around how science and music can be communicated and combined.”  - Wesley Stephenson (Festival Producer)  Composers and Performers  Rebecca Nash ‘Redefining Element 78’ Quintet Graeme Wilson and Faye MacCalman Lauren Kinsella ‘Radicle’ Trio Han-earl Park Johnny Hunter ‘Pale Blue Dot’ Sextet David de la Haye Mark Haanstra and One Van Geel ‘Shapes of Time’ with Udo Prinsen Guest Panelists and Presentations Charlie Wilkinson (Soapbox Science) Dr Lee Higham (Newcastle University Faculty of Science)  Dr Graeme Wilson (Visiting Fellow University of Edinburgh) Goda Stasytyte (Newcastle University School of Natural and Environmental Sciences) Giovanna Barrionuevo Martins (Newcastle University School of Natural and Environmental Sciences) Special Guest Compère  Dr Corey Mwamba Presenter of BBC Radio 3’s ‘Freeness’ Corey Mwamba will act as the project compère and chair for workshop discussion.
