The musicians of the world-famous orchestra «Moscow Virtuosi» are caring mothers and fathers, striving for the all-round development and education of their children. Together with scientists from various fields of science, they have created a cycle of unusual educational programs that combine science and music. Artists and scientists passionately create bright images and musical paintings on stage, which a child will surely never forget.

It seems that musicians and scientists—physicists, biologists, chemists—are so distant from each other and engaged in completely unrelated activities! But this is not the case at all: the musicians of the chamber orchestra «Moscow Virtuosi» along with their scientist friends have devised an entire musical laboratory—a series of concerts for children that explain and demonstrate how music is structured internally, and how closely it actually intertwines with different sciences—physics, mathematics, geography. Vivid imagery, fascinating stories, and even physical experiments on stage will appeal to both children and adults, while a concert by one of the best chamber orchestras in the world will remind us that music is far from just a science.

In the lecture-concert «Music and Physics,» we will explore how sounds are born in the musical instruments of a chamber orchestra (in each instrument—completely differently!), learn why our ears hear them, and how we distinguish music from noise, as well as the sound of a violin from the sound of a french horn. We will also discuss the connection with architecture. The concert will be led by Philip Ryabov, a physicist-engineer and sound physics specialist. The surprise program will be performed without a conductor.
