The Chamber Music Club's first concert of the summer term will take
place on Tuesday 3rd May at 5.30 pm in the Haldane Room. This will be
our 70th anniversary concert (the Club's inaugural concert was on 1st
May 1952), and will feature keyboard music by J.S.Bach played by our
Honorary President Professor John Irving (a leading scholar and
performer of 18th-century music); a piano trio by Haydn; a work for
cello and piano by Janáček; and French flute music. (The full
programme will appear on the website in due course:
www.ucl.ac.uk/chamber-music/concert-diary.) There will be refreshments
afterwards and an opportunity to browse through some past programmes
from the CMC's archive. We look forward to welcoming you to our very
own Platinum Jubilee event!
As usual, admission will be by Eventbrite ticket. The link is:
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ucl-cmc-70th-anniversary-concert-tickets-326619556887.
Booking opens at 12.00 midday tomorrow (Monday).
Advance notice: remaining concerts this term will be on Thursday 12th
May (1.10 pm) and Thursday 26th May (5.30 pm); the Club's AGM will be
on Monday 13th June (5.30 pm). Look out for more on all of these in
coming weeks.
Best wishes,

Fwd: IMA Maths in Music Conference, July 2022, at RCM London
IMA Maths in Music Conference
13‐15 July 2022, Royal College of Music London
https://ima.org.uk/18115/ima‐maths‐in‐music‐conference/
CALL FOR PAPERS
The study of the relationship between music and mathematics has a
thousand‐year‐long history which predates Pythagoras. Mathematics and
music share a common basis of language and creativity. From the theory
of tuning systems and temperament to physical acoustics, from harmonic
analysis to spectrograms, from the structures of rhythms and pulses to
the continuous stretching of the laws of harmony and the exploration
of the musical forms carried out by contemporary composers, all
elements of music lead to an immediate connection to mathematics.
Established and recent research has witnessed the use of set theory to
describe how musical objects are related and organised, the use of
group theory in the context of transformational analysis of tonal and
atonal compositions, the application of Grassmannians to the study of
temperaments, and the investigation of category theory, topology and
differential geometry to provide a basis of music theory.
The Institute of Mathematics and its Applications is glad to announce
the launch of the first IMA conference on "Mathematics in Music", to
take place on 13‐15 July 2022 at the Royal College of Music, London,
with the support of the Royal Musical Association. The conference
focusses onto the exploration of the connections between mathematics
and music, in particular current developments of music theory, music
performance, music perception and music technology based on or
inspired by mathematical applications and concepts, including (but not
limited to) category theory, group theory, topology, differential
geometry, combinatorics, analysis, acoustic theory, as well as
artificial intelligence, deep learning, language processing and
coding.
The conference is aimed at mathematical researchers working at the
frontier between mathematics or computation with music theory,
musicology, music performance, sound engineering and composition, as
well as at musicologists or computational musicologists, performers
and composers
using quantitative tools and formal methods from mathematics in their
investigation and professional practice of music.
We are very keen that student researchers are a core part of this
event and would very much like to encourage anyone studying music and
mathematics to submit an abstract to join us for this conference. The
event will include a student prize for the best submission, with the
winning student being awarded a book voucher from the IMA and a free
RMA membership from the RMA.
Invited Speakers:
Prof Emily Howard, Royal Northern College of Music Prof Guerino
Mazzola, University of Minnesota
Prof Geraint Wiggins, Vrije Universiteit Brussel & Queen Mary
University of London Prof Moreno Andreatta, CNRS Director of Research
at IRMA
Call for Abstracts:
Abstract Submission of 300 words by the 24 April 2022. via https://my.ima.org.uk
Note: If you are an IMA Member or you have previously registered for
an IMA conference, then you are already on our database. Please
"request a new password" using the email address previously used, to
log in.
Student contributions and posters. The event will host a special
session, dedicated to showcase student research. PhD students and
undergrad students are invited to contribute to the event with a
poster on their work on the themes of the conference. Contributing
students will be offered the opportunity to deliver a short (5‐10
minutes) talk in front of the general assembly, and will be offered
the opportunity to participate in a prize for the best submission, if
they wish so. The winning student will be awarded with a £50.00 book
voucher from the IMA and a one‐year RMA membership fromthe RMA. PhD
and undergrad students will be asked if they want to opt for
delivering a short talk and participate in the prize in the reply to
the confirmation letter from the IMA, which they will receive
following their registration on the IMA portal. Submissions for the
student session must include the specification "[POSTER]" next to the
title of the contribution, when inserted during the registration
process on the IMA portal (https://my.ima.org.uk).
