The sound of science is a concert and album presenting eight pieces of music by seven celebrated composers. Written for amplified cello and electronics, all pieces will be performed by world-renowned cellist Jeffrey Zeigler, longtime member of Kronos Quartet and cellist for John Zorn, Philip Glass, Laurie Anderson, and many other composers. Paired with scientists of their own choosing, composers will create music inspired by and reflective of the scientist's life and practice. One of the year’s most-anticipated musical events, "The Sound of Science" will premiere in New York City in autumn 2018, followed by performances in Austin, Mexico City and Tulsa.
