DJ Dance Party on the Roof Garden
How do we go back to the Pythagorean tradition of simultaneously admiring both math and music? How do we restore balance between Apollo and Dionysus?
On this special evening, we will attempt to do just that. Following the 5:30 p.m. talk by Professor Edward Frenkel, there will be a "math and music" ceremony, administered not by a priest or shaman but, as is more common these days, by DJs.
DJ Wilder (Anna Fedorova) will dazzle us with music sourced from different genres and epochs, followed by DJ Moonstein (Edward Frenkel himself) playing back-to-back with DJ Chi (Cihat Fitzgerald) taking us further into the unknown. Magic awaits.
A Humanities Member-led Forum program. Forums at the Club are organized and run by volunteer programmers who are members of The Commonwealth Club, and they cover a diverse range of topics. Learn more about our Forums.
