World Science Festival

I’m so excited to be going to Brian Greene’s World Science Festival in NYC next week. Brian is the author of the Elegant Universe and other books, essentially this generation’s Carl Sagan. Brian and I had talked during the early years of Light in Winter about his headlining a performance here with the Emerson Quartet, with a piece he was developing with the Emerson Quartet to illustrate string theory. That never happened; but here is a whole new festival building on the synergies of art and science! It’s great to see how similar interests resonate at certain times and places.

Light in Winter 2009 January 23-25 is going to be pretty fabulous, exploring magic, music, mathematics, memory-and that’s just the “m”s. Our website is being reworked and when it’s up next month will have all the details.
