More About Beauty & Logic Concert & Conversation
Beauty and Logic is a unique math-meets-music experience exploring the sounds we love and the equations that make them possible. This series is curated and led by Grace Farms Music Director, saxophonist, and trained mathematician, Marcus G. Miller. Marcus is currently touring North America as part of Jon Batiste’s Uneasy Tour, in support of the Grammy-nominated album, World Music Radio.
This April, explore resonance, a word layered with social and relational meaning. In physics, it appears as a division by zero; in music, it gives rise to phenomena including the mechanics of horns and acoustical feedback.
Join us for an upcoming installments of Beauty and Logic on Saturday, August 24 and Saturday, November 9.
About Marcus G. Miller
Marcus Miller began studying saxophone at age nine and developed a passion that put him on stage at 13. With gifts extending beyond music, he graduated from Harvard University with a degree in Mathematics. After a short stint at a major hedge fund he moved to New York City to pursue music. He soon developed a reputation as a versatile and virtuosic player, while studying music production and engineering under Grammy-Winning Engineer “Bassy” Bob Brockman (Notorious B.I.G, Herbie Hancock, D’Angelo).
Marcus has performed at the Obama White House, Madison Square Garden, The World Economic Forum at Davos, The Montreux Jazz Festival, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert alongside Jon Batiste, and Carnegie Hall. In addition, he has worked with jazz giants ELEW and Jazzmeia Horn, as well as major artists like The Fugees and Madonna.
Marcus maintains his interest in mathematics and physics by giving talks and performances that combine Math and Music. He has been featured at TEDSummit 2019, TEDxOttawa 2019, Brown University, University of Georgia, and University of Michigan. He hopes to encourage people to become more aware of the potential for mathematics and music to serve as routes to personal, spiritual, and community development.
This program is recommended for adults and students ages 16 and older, but visitors of all ages with an interest in music, math, and science are welcome.
Please note: All ticket sales are final.
