Einstein’s love of music made him see the world differently. He once said that he often thought in music.

If music inspired Einstein’s thinking 100 years ago, how does his scientific legacy continue to inspire musicians and researchers today?

Join author Andrew Robinson, Professor Brian Foster and Professor Roger Davies for an evening of music and conversation exploring Einstein’s impact and legacy.

Composer Zakiya Leeming and musician Linda Jankowska will share the world premiere of three miniatures for violin composed for this event, inspired by Zakiya's conversations with the panelists.

Held at Trinity College, Oxford; hosted by the History of Science Museum.
