Symmetry of Sound

Inspired by the music of Bach, this show conveys the beauty of mathematics and our search for order. The great mathematician Edith Wharton says, “The desire for symmetry, for balance, for rhythm in form as well as in sound, is one of the most inveterate of human instincts.” This is the essence of Bach’s music as it contains this type of mathematical beauty; where musical lines rise and fall and repeat in a way that creates order and symmetry.
